Cordyline 'Design-a-line Burgundy' (Burgundy Cordyline) - A striking new tight clump forming Cordyline 3 feet tall by equal width with fine textured burgundy colored weeping foliage. As with Cordyline 'Jurred' this plant is a hybrid of the larger Grass Tree (Cordyline australis) and the smaller Cordyline banksii - early reports from New Zealand indicate that 'Design-a-line Burgundy' is faster growing and is more rigid in the pot. We have not seen this plant flower yet but suspect it will have a similar flower to other Cordyline hybrids with this parentage which means summer tiny pale lilac flowers, with a jasmine-like fragrance that are held above the foliage on branched stems. Plant in full sun (along coast) to shade in a well drained soil and water regularly. Hardy to USDA Zone 8-11.A great plant in the garden or as a potted specimen plant. Selected by Lyndale Nursery of New Zealand.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
