Notes
'Albertii' festival raspberry cordyline (Cordyline australis 'Albertii') is a plant for borders, containers, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is evergreen and fragrant, and bees visit the blooms in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Papyrus, Shrimp plant, and Staghorn fern.
