Description

Dancing Paso Doble Cordyline is a fiery and flamboyant evergreen shrub that brings a bold, rhythmic splash of color to the garden. Its long, arching leaves emerge in a vibrant hot pink to magenta, maturing to a deep burgundy-red, with the entire leaf often edged in a contrasting crimson. The foliage forms a dense, fountain-like cluster atop a slender, upright trunk, creating a striking vertical accent. With a compact, well-behaved size and a love for warmth, it is perfect for adding dramatic, low-maintenance color to tropical-themed borders, patio containers, or as a vibrant houseplant.

  • Fiery Pink & Burgundy Foliage: Showcases leaves in a dynamic range of colors, from bright pink new growth to mature deep burgundy, all edged in red for added drama.

  • Compact, Fountain-Like Habit: Forms a dense, upright clump of arching foliage that provides excellent structure and vertical interest without taking up excessive space.

  • Tropical Accent for Sun or Shade: Thrives in bright, filtered light to partial sun. Too much intense afternoon sun can scorch the leaves, while deep shade may dull the colors.

  • Deer Resistant & Drought Tolerant: Once established, it requires minimal watering and is ignored by deer, making it ideal for low-care landscapes.

  • Versatile Container & Garden Specimen: An excellent choice for a colorful thriller in large patio pots, planted en masse for impact, or grown as a striking indoor plant in bright light.

Q: Is it cold hardy?
A: It is frost-tender and best suited for USDA Zones 9b-11. In Zone 9a, it should be grown in a container that can be brought indoors or into a protected greenhouse during freezing weather. It makes an excellent houseplant.
