Description

Charlie Boy Cordyline is a rich, dramatic selection that adds depth and sophistication with its deep, wine-colored foliage. Its long, arching leaves are a saturated bronze-red to burgundy, often with even darker red edges, maintaining this luxurious color in both sun and shade better than many red-leaved varieties. Forming a compact, dense clump, it provides a strong vertical element and pairs beautifully with silver, blue, or lime-green plants. Its adaptability and striking color make it a versatile and reliable choice for many garden styles.

• Deep Burgundy-Bronze Foliage: Features elegant, strap-like leaves in a consistent, dark wine-red or bronze color that holds well in various light conditions.

• Compact, Dense Clumping Habit: Grows in a very tidy, upright mound, making it ideal for formal plantings, containers, or where space is limited.

• Adaptable to Sun or Shade: Performs well in full sun (where colors may deepen) to partial shade (where it retains good color), offering more flexibility in placement than some cordylines.

• Low Water Needs & Deer Resistant: Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and, like all cordylines, is not favored by deer.

• Excellent Color Contrast Plant: Its dark foliage makes it a perfect backdrop or contrast for flowering plants with white, pink, yellow, or blue blooms.
