Description

Mediterranean vibes in abundance! Show off the dramatic spiked foliage of these excellent Cordyline as they impress in your pots or borders.

The burgundy and apricot leaves of ‘Charlie Boy' are evergreen and compact, to be perfect for a pot. A distinct silhouette will develop and string stems become more noticeable as older base leaves shed. Summertime can bring small clusters of aromatic white flowers, which grow in clusters, followed by white-blue fruits.

Ideal specimens for growing on the patio or balcony in pots, you could even experiment and make your own tropical paradise by growing this duo with other tropical plants such as cannas, or broad-leaved Zantedeschias.

Over time, your Cordyline will branch into small, evergreen trees that closely resemble palms, creating a unique year-round look for many years to come. Easy to grow, Cordylines need little maintenance and pruning, saving for the removal of dead leaves in spring.

Plant in a pot and grow outside through the summer before moving to a protected space such as a greenhouse or conservatory for winter. As the plants mature, they become more frost hardy so can be left outside in all but the coldest weather.

Supplied as a set of two established plants in 17cm pots, approx. 46-60cm tall, ready to pot on or plant out.

Top Tips
Plant into decorative containers and enjoy the outstretching architectural leaves
Care Information
  • Water freely across the growing season, but sparingly in winter.
    Feed monthly with a balanced, liquid fertiliser from spring to late summer.
  • Top-dress or pot up in spring. Although frost hardy, young Cordyline plants and coloured varieties are more prone to cold damage.
  • This can be prevented by tying up the foliage to reduce wind damage and prevent water collecting around growing points and causing rotting.
  • In areas prone to severe winters, wrap the trunk with layers of fleece and place a 15cm layer of mulch, such as bark, over the root area.
  • Move container grown plants to a frost-free location, such as a greenhouse, during periods of cold or wet weather - temporary shelter in a shed or garage will do.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
