Notes

'Red Sister' cabbage tree (Cordyline fruticosa 'Red Sister') is a shrub for borders, containers, and accents. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, loamy soil. It has an erect habit and grows at a moderate rate. The evergreen plant has fragrant blooms in spring and summer.

Pairs well with Looking Glass begonia, Snow Queen pothos, and Blue star fern.
