Notes
'Salsa' festival raspberry cordyline (Cordyline australis 'Salsa') is a tree for containers, accents, and specimen planting. 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 soil of most types. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Its arching leaves mix cream, green, pink, and purple, so try it with foliage in burgundy, blue, and gold for a bold look.
Pairs well with Agapanthus, American century plant, and Aloe.
