Description
Cordyline australis—New Zealand’s hardy tī kōuka—adapts effortlessly to container displays, specimen stands, or mass plantings. Resilient across soils, exposures, and climates, it asks little yet gives plenty: bold tufts of bright-green, sword-like leaves provide instant structure, while late-spring brings towering panicles of creamy, sweet-scented flowers. From mid-summer into early autumn, these blooms ripen into clusters of berries relished by native birds. Evergreen, low-maintenance, and wildlife-friendly, tī kōuka delivers year-round beauty with minimal fuss.
