Description:
Cordyline fruticosa ‘Brandy Lime’ is a vibrant, upright tropical plant prized for its luminous lime-green foliage with subtle chartreuse and golden tones. Its bright colouring brings freshness and contrast to gardens and containers, making it an excellent choice for tropical landscapes or brightening up shaded areas. This hardy and versatile variety thrives in warm, humid climates and provides year-round colour with minimal maintenance.
Flowers:
Small, star-like pink to white flowers may appear in warmer months, followed by small, red berries. The blooms are delicate and often tucked among the foliage.
Foliage:
Bold, lance-shaped leaves in vivid lime-green shades form an upright, clumping habit. The leaves are soft and glossy, creating a lush tropical look.
Fruit:
Occasional small ornamental red berries may follow flowering, adding seasonal interest.
Form & Size:
Upright, clump-forming plant reaching approximately 1.5–2m high and 1m wide.
Growing Conditions:
- Position: Prefers part shade to full sun; best colour develops with bright filtered light.
- Soil: Grows well in fertile, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter.
- Climate: Thrives in warm, humid climates. Best suited to tropical and subtropical zones. Protect from frost and cold winds.
- Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering in hot weather.
Uses:

- Perfect in decorative pots or containers for patios, decks, or entrances.
- A stunning contrast plant in mixed foliage displays.
Maintenance:
- Very low-maintenance.

- Feed with a slow-release fertiliser during the growing season to encourage vibrant colour and lush growth.
Notes:
- Can be grown indoors in a warm, brightly lit position.
