Introducing the Cordyline Red Compactor, a powerhouse landscape plant that delivers intense, burgundy-red foliage and an incredibly tough, compact habit. Perfect for adding year-round architectural interest with minimal upkeep, this is the ultimate low-maintenance shrub for modern gardens.
Key Features & Benefits:
Dramatic Deep Red Foliage: The Red Compactor is celebrated for its dense rosettes of slender, arching leaves that emerge a rich, glossy burgundy and mature to a deep bronze-red. This stunning color persists throughout the year, providing reliable visual impact.
Superb Compact & Architectural Form: True to its name, the 'Compactor' grows in a neat, tight clump without becoming leggy. Its striking, symmetrical shape adds a strong architectural element to borders, containers, and patio displays.
Exceptional Drought Tolerance: Once established, this Cordyline is remarkably water-wise. It's an excellent choice for xeriscaping, sunny slopes, and gardens in warm climates, requiring far less water than many other shrubs.
Low Maintenance & Hardy: Forget constant pruning and fussing. The Red Compactor is naturally slow-growing, maintains its shape beautifully, and is generally pest and disease resistant. It offers maximum impact with minimal effort.
Perfect for Use In:
Architectural Containers on patios or entrances
Modern, low-maintenance garden borders
Adding color to rockeries and dry gardens
Creating striking, low-water landscapes (Xeriscaping)
Plant Care Guide:
Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the most intense red coloration, provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Soil: Prefers well-draining soil. Tolerates a wide range of soil types, including sandy and poor soils, but will not survive in waterlogged conditions.
Watering: Water regularly to establish a strong root system. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering during extended dry spells.
Hardiness: Best in USDA Zones 9-11. It can be grown in cooler zones if protected from hard frosts or brought indoors for winter.
