Latin NameCordyline australis Charlie BoyCommon NameCabbage PalmTypeSmall TreeHardinessHalf hardyEvergreenEvergreenHeight at Maturity5 MtrsSpread at Maturity4 Mtrs Description A superb plant and especially if you are looking to create that tropical/Mediterranean effect. This amazing palm like Cordyline is a recent introduction and one of the best of its type. Cordyline australis Charlie Boy has very striking purple centered and pink edged leaves. One of its main assets is that it is much sturdier than most other Cordylines of similar colour and can be planted outside in sheltered locations. More mature plants occasionally produce masses of small fragrant creamy flowers in late summer. Grow in fertile, free draining soil in sun or part shade. This plant can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot or other container in a greenhouse or large conservatory. If in a pot it cannot stay outside over winter except in the mildest of locations. Use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost.
