About 'Red Sister' Cabbage Palm

'Red Sister' is a tropical Cordyline fruticosa selected for long, broad leaves striped in flaming pink, burgundy, and green. Its upright, multistemmed form adds height and saturated foliage color to warm-climate landscapes, and it also works well as a container focal point or indoor plant in colder regions. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/cordyline/red-sister-cabbage-palm-cordyline-fruticosa) lists a mature size of 3–4 feet tall and wide and hardiness in USDA zones 9–11. ## Landscape Use Place it where the colorful foliage can be seen, such as a tropical border or mixed container. In the warmest climates, some sun helps maintain pink color, while protection from hot afternoon sun and strong wind reduces exposure stress. In colder areas, bring containers indoors before frost. ## Growing Conditions Provide part sun to sun and average moisture. Water when the surface begins to dry, and use a free-draining potting mix for container plants. ## Maintenance Proven Winners rates this plant easy to grow. Remove damaged leaves as needed and protect it from cold; it is not expected to overwinter outdoors where temperatures fall below about 15°F.
