Cordyline australis 'Charlie Boy' was first discovered growing at a nursery in Lincolnshire and has since become highly sought after.The long, slender, evergreen strappy foliage in shades of bronze and burgundy with bright red margins, forms an architectural silhouette, perfect as a structural statement piece. Originating from Australia, Cordyline are drought tolerant once established and especially well-suited to growing in a container. Mature plants can produce clusters of intensely fragrant small, white flowers in summer, which are followed by petite, white-blue spherical berries in autumn.Cordyline australis 'Charlie Boy' prefers well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade. With a mature height of 2.5-4m, it will spread 1-1.5m. A half-hardy perennial with an RHS hardiness rating of H3, able to tolerate temperatures down to around -6 C. Frost protection will be required when a heavy frost is expected, either with horticultural fleece (for cordylines grown in the ground) or by moving into a cool greenhouse or conservatory if container grown.
