Cordyline australis ‘Dazzler’

Cordyline australis ‘Dazzler’: characteristics and care

The Cordyline australis ‘Dazzler’, popularly known as Cordyline or Dazzler Dracaena, is an ornamental variety of Cordyline australis that stands out for its narrow, arched foliage, variegated in cream, pink, and green tones, forming a striking rosette on a woody stem.

Its colorful foliage and sculptural habit make it a highly decorative option as a focal point, in tropical beds, or in large containers.

It tolerates moderate drought well once established and adapts to different soil types, provided it has good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
