Product description
Cordyline australis Lime Passion is an attractive garden plant with a highly architectural form. Elongated lanceolate leaves grow up and out from a single trunk, creating a fan of foliage. The leaves themselves are a cheerful shade of lime green variegated with cream. Large clusters of tiny white scented flowers may appear on mature plants in July and August.
Also known as Cabbage Palm, Cordylines do well in pots and containers, making them an ideal choice for patios and other paved areas. They also grow nicely alongside other plants in garden borders and flower beds.
These striking plants are easy to care for and relatively undemanding. They like a south or west facing spot that is quite sheltered from strong winds. Once mature, Cordylines are fairly drought tolerant and can largely be left to their own devices.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a growers pot.

Instructions
Top Tip
Green-leaved cordylines thrive best in full sun, while those with coloured leaves prefer light shade.
How to Water
Water regularly during the first growing season. After this, cordylines are relatively drought tolerant and only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Plant cordylines in the ground or in containers in a spot that enjoys full sun or partial shade with moist but well-draining soil. Enrich the soil with well-rotted organic matter and dig a hole around twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level then backfill with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
