Cordyline australis 'Red Star' is a striking, palm-like evergreen tree known for its upright growth habit and dramatic, sword-shaped leaves in deep burgundy and bronze tones. This vigorous cultivar adds architectural height and a tropical feel to gardens or large containers. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to light shade, showing moderate drought and salt tolerance once established. In late spring, mature plants produce fragrant white flower panicles that attract bees.
