Dracaena australis ‘Red Star’: characteristics and care
The Dracaena australis ‘Red Star’, popularly known as Cordyline Red Star, is an ornamental variety of Cordyline australis that stands out for its striking, intense reddish-purple foliage, which is narrow and arched, forming a very attractive rosette on a woody stem.
Its intense color and sculptural habit make it a highly decorative option for providing chromatic contrast in flowerbeds, containers, and tropical compositions.
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.
