Bring a bold yet timeless touch to your garden with our Cordyline Red Sensation. Known for its rich, deep burgundy leaves and graceful upright form, this striking plant adds a dash of Southern charm to porches, patios, and garden beds alike.
A Plant with Deep Roots:
Cordyline has a long and cherished history, gracing gardens from the tropics to the heart of the South. Often seen as a symbol of good luck, protection, and strength, it's a plant that feels right at home where family roots run deep and every season is celebrated outdoors.
The Meaning Behind the Beauty:
The Red Sensation’s bold foliage speaks to resilience, warmth, and hospitality—qualities at the heart of every Southern home and gathering.
Growing Conditions:
-
Sun: Full sun to partial shade (the more sun, the deeper the color)
-
Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil
-
Water: Regular watering; let the topsoil dry slightly between soakings
-
Zones: Best suited for USDA zones 9–11; a lovely container plant in cooler climates
Size and Growth:
Cordyline Red Sensation grows to about 3–5 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, making it the perfect centerpiece for pots, entryways, or tucked into flower beds for height and drama.
Caring for Your Cordyline:
-
Water deeply during dry spells
-
Feed with a slow-release fertilizer in the spring
-
Trim away any older or damaged leaves to keep it tidy and thriving
-
In cooler regions, bring indoors before frost sets in
Perfect Southern Companions:
Pair your Red Sensation with caladiums, sweet potato vine, lantana, or angelonia for a classic, colorful garden display that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition.
The Cordyline Red Sensation is more than just a plant — it's a way to weave beauty, family, and a welcoming spirit into your outdoor spaces, where every bloom and leaf tells a story.
