Cordylines – Exotic Statement Plants
Cordylines are one of the best ways to add height, drama, and colour to your outdoor space, bringing an instant tropical feel. Known for their striking sword-like foliage, these plants are a fantastic choice for gardeners looking to create a contemporary, low-maintenance garden with year-round structure.
Why Grow Cordylines?
If you love plants that look exotic but don’t require endless care, Cordylines are a dream. These hardy evergreens stand tall in any weather, offering a bold architectural presence with their spiky, fountain-like leaves. Available in a range of colours, from deep burgundy to vibrant green, there’s a variety to suit every garden style.
Better yet, Cordylines are incredibly adaptable. They work beautifully in patio pots, raised beds, or borders, making them a versatile option whether you have a compact urban space or a sprawling countryside garden. Once established, they require very little attention, apart from the occasional tidy-up of older leaves.
Key Features and Benefits

Evergreen Interest – Keeps your space looking vibrant throughout the year.

Caring for Your Cordylines
Cordylines prefer well-drained soil and a sunny or partially shaded position. They’re relatively drought-tolerant once established, though they’ll appreciate a drink during dry spells. In colder areas, it’s best to provide some winter protection, especially for younger plants. Simply wrapping the crown in fleece or moving potted specimens to a sheltered spot can help them sail through the worst of the winter weather.
With their impressive form, year-round appeal, and easy-going nature, Cordylines are an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Explore our collection today and find the perfect plant to elevate your outdoor space.
