Notes

'Red Zip' cabbage tree (Cordyline fruticosa 'Red Zip') is an annual for borders, containers, and use as a specimen or accent. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. 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 is fragrant and blooms in spring and summer.

Pairs well with Looking Glass begonia, Snow Queen pothos, and Wave Purple petunia.
