 Common Name:

Three Kings Island Cabbage Tree. 

Description:

An attractive tree with broad, lime green foliage. Single trunk branches into a multi- headed plant with age.

Flower:

Large panicles of white flowers in summer. 

Size:

4m x 2m

Growing Conditions:

Can be planted in full sun or part shade. Hardy to extreme conditions, but best when sheltered from drying winds and planted in free draining soils.

Care:

Older leaves will naturally yellow and then fall off, these can be trimmed off early for appearance. Cordyline can be susceptible to Caterpillars through spring and summer. Apply a general insectide to control them. You can also have some success using warm soapy water. Pour down the plant to ensure the mixture gets between the leaves. A regular application of slow release fertiliser will keep the foliage looking fresh and healthy.

Uses:

• As a feature or specimen plant. Mass plant for extra effect.  
• Great in containers.
• Looks good when used to give height to a drift planting of grasses or flaxes. Especially the miniature toi toi, Chinochloa flavicans.

Comments:

Cordyline 'Kaspar' is a great plant for adding dramatic foliage and height to a modern or native garden. Imagine a planting up a driveway or along a fence line with a suitable under- planting.

 Alternative Plants:

Cordyline 'Goldie' , Cordyline australis , Cordyline kirkii.
