Plant description
Cordyline australis 'Sunrise' is an evergreen perennial plant with colourful pink and burgundy striped leaves. It is a tough plant for sun to shade, and does well on sandy to moderately heavy soils. It tolerates heat well for a pink foliaged cordyline, and takes some frost and drought as well. Remove any damaged leaves to keep tidy, and fertilise in spring with a good slow release fertiliser. If a plant without a trunk is required, cut the plant down to within 15cms of the ground and it will reshoot. The cut top can be planted into a loose soil, and may form roots and grow into a new plant.
