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.

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.
