About Cordyline australis

▼

Cordyline australis, commonly known as the Cabbage Tree or New Zealand Cabbage Palm, is a striking and versatile plant native to New Zealand. It is popular in gardens and landscapes worldwide for its architectural form, drought tolerance, and distinctive foliage.

The Cabbage Tree typically features a single, slender trunk topped with a cluster of long, sword-shaped leaves that are dark green or variegated, depending on the variety. The leaves can grow up to 1 meter (3 feet) long, creating a spiky, palm-like appearance. Over time, the plant may develop multiple trunks, adding to its sculptural look.

In late spring to early summer, Cordyline australis produces fragrant, creamy-white flowers on tall, branching panicles, followed by small, white to bluish fruits. This plant can reach heights of 10-20 meters (33-66 feet) in its native habitat, though it often remains smaller in cultivation.

Architectural Beauty & Drought Tolerance: Cordyline australis is an attractive and hardy plant that adds a bold, tropical touch to gardens and landscapes. Its dramatic foliage and easy care make it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Growing Conditions

▼

Light Requirements

Cordyline australis thrives in full sun to partial shade. It performs best in sunny locations where it receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily, but it can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.

Temperature Requirements

This plant prefers mild to warm climates and can tolerate a range of temperatures, from cool to subtropical. It is hardy down to about -9 °C (15 °F), making it suitable for temperate regions. In areas with severe winters, protection or container growing may be necessary.

Soil Requirements

The Cabbage Tree prefers well-draining, fertile soil but can adapt to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils. It thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil conditions. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot and ensure optimal plant health.

Water Requirements

Once established, Cordyline australis is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Afterward, water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Overwatering should be avoided, particularly in cooler climates.

Planting & Care Guide

▼

Planting Instructions

Location: Choose a location with full sun or partial shade and well-draining soil. Hole Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and as deep as the root ball. Backfilling: Backfill with soil and water thoroughly. Container Growing: If planting in a container, use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix.

Fertilization Program

Feed Cordyline australis with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring. An annual application of compost or organic mulch can also help maintain soil fertility and retain moisture.

Maintenance Requirements

Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. As the plant grows, lower leaves may naturally yellow and die; these can be removed to keep the plant looking its best. In colder climates, mulch around the base to protect roots during winter.

Growing from Seeds

▼

Seed Preparation

Fresh seeds generally have the best germination rates. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the seed coat and improve germination success.

Sowing Instructions

Sow the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, such as a combination of sand, perlite, and peat. Plant the seeds about 1 cm (0.4 inches) deep and cover lightly with soil.

Germination Conditions

Temperature: Place the seed tray in a warm, bright area with temperatures around 20-25 °C (68-77 °F). Moisture: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Timing: Germination can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Seedling Care

Once seedlings appear, provide bright, indirect light and continue to keep the soil moist. Transplant seedlings into individual pots or into the garden once they are large enough to handle and the weather is warm enough for outdoor growth.

A blanket lovers dream!
Color: Linen, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Absolutely obsessed with these! I've literally bought 7 of them, in various colors and sizes and they are all gorgeous and luxurious! I won one of the name brand blankets like this at my work Christmas party. You know the one, $300 for the oversized (twin size) throw… when I got home and looked it up to see the price because I had never heard it it, I guess that triggered the “similar item” recommendation, and I saw this blanket. While I DO love the $300 one, I would never spend that much on a blanket. I was curious to see how this compared, for literally a tenth of the price, so I ordered a few as gifts. I figured if nothing else, my dog would love them. Now, I will say that the name brand one has the faux fur on both sides and is a little softer, but this is a GREAT quality dupe. This one even has the “heavy” feel to it like the name brand. I ended up ordering several as gifts and then a couple of the throw size for me. This is a great gift for someone, or just to jazz up your bed or sofa!

Color: Black, Size: King (108" x 90")
I love this blanket so much. It is super soft and super warm and super cozy. I bought a couple extra and absolutely love it. The quality is really nice. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know what it's gonna be like once I wash it I would assume hang dry and not put in the dryer and wash on delicate other than that's it's nice

could be improved but great for price
Color: Tie-dye Purple Rainbow, Size: King (108" x 90")
I have a faux fur throw from bedsure and I wanted one in a queen size as a blanket. Sadly, the bedsure company doesn't make one large enough, so I bought this one. It is thinner than the bedsure, definitely. The velvety backing is thinner and so is the fur itself. And like people say, the back and front layers are not attached. I haven't washed it b/c I decided to return it. I think for the price, tho, it's pretty adorable. If you're using this as a decorative cover -- it's totally worth it. The purple rainbow has very pretty muted colours, with splotches of bolder colour in some sections. I actually like that, and think it would make a charming gift for a young girl. It wasn't quite what I wanted, but I do think for this price point it's lovely. Very soft, does have a nice weight to is, and can function as a blanket if you've got something else underneath. I do think the manufacturer ought to attach the layers (the bedsure one has layers attached!) -- that won't really cost more, and it'll fix many people's complaints.

Lucious, Gorgeous, silky & pillowy
Color: Cream White, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
High End Quality!!! I just unpacked and draped it over a railing-to just look at in Awe & then the feel. I imagine it feels like your in Heaven-on the wisps if clouds. Not thin, I remember my mom wrapping herself in mink (in the day before they knew better), but the Luxury of both feel and the look-OMG I got the white cream bubble. 2) only complaint is generic wash label. I wish there was a brand Label “Lotus Karen”. To the business company, 🙏Please consider putting your brand name on the Label. It’s outstanding!!! Claim your name for the outstanding quality you have in these throws and blankets. Large 50 x60

Super Soft, warm and looks beautiful
Color: Khaki, Size: Queen (90" x 90"), Color: Khaki, Size: Queen (90" x 90")
Super soft. This is my 4th faux fur blanket and this one is by far the softest. Makes it a bit slippery it's so soft but not issue for me. Color beautiful and depending on the light ranges from a bone white to a khaki. Looks expensive. The velvet reverse side also very soft and cozy. Fluffed up beautifully after 20 minutes in dryer when first received. No shedding.Looks great as comforter on bed.
