Cordyline Salsa 180MM

Cordyline australis Salsa

I am Cordyline Salsa. My family originated from New Zealand.

Habit Strappy - Bright Upright Colour

Plant family Asparagaceae

I am the brightly coloured Cordyline ‘Salsa’ featuring strap-like leaves which are a vibrant mix of pink on red that deepen in colour as they mature. Hardy and adaptable I am just as happy in a pot grown indoors or in the garden where I will cope with full sun or shade though I will do best where there are good light levels. My flowers in spring to summer are not a visual feature but are sweetly perfumed. Super hardy I am a great choice when it comes to adding colour to exposed locations, including windy coastal conditions.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My uniquely striped leaves are a vibrant mix of pink on red that deepen in colour as the foliage matures

Hardy I am a good choice for coastal conditions tolerant of salt, frost, dry, humidity and exposed locations
