Plant description
With striking, palm-like foliage, this evergreen shrub offers a bold statement in many different settings from pots, borders, and even large hanging baskets!
Long, arching, strap-like leaves emerge deep purple-red with vibrant pink margins, creating a dramatic effect. In summer, slender stems rise above the foliage in mature plants, bearing delicate clusters of pale pink flowers that fill the air with a subtle jasmine fragrance.
Cordyline 'Raspberry Festival' thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sunny or partially shaded position, sheltered from harsh winds. It’s a versatile addition to the garden, making a stunning groundcover or a specimen feature in seasonal displays.
This plant requires regular watering during the hottest parts of summer but is generally low-maintenance once established. Its dense, cascading foliage provides year-round interest and works well in tropical-themed or contemporary garden designs. Cordylines benefit from an insulating winter covering of horticultural fleece in colder spots in the UK, or during severe or prolonged frosts.

How to care for Cordyline Raspberry Festival (PBR):
Choose a sunny, warm spot, sheltered from strong, cold winds. No pruning required. Old, dead leaves can be pulled away from the base. In spring when new growth appears and all danger of hard frosts has passed, cut back frost-damaged branches to just above the newly formed shoots.
