Cordyline ‘Auntie Lou’ is a foliage selection valued for its rich coloration and strong, upright presentation.
This selection features deep burgundy to reddish foliage with subtle tonal variation across broad, slightly arching leaves. The plant forms a full canopy while maintaining a clean vertical line, creating a balanced, structured appearance. The saturated color remains consistent across the plant, allowing it to function as a strong visual anchor in containers, patio plantings, and tropical combinations where depth and contrast are needed. This cordyline is widely used in tropical and seasonal programs for its dependable color, upright form, and ability to provide structure and contrast in mixed plantings.
Why it works
· Deep burgundy tones for strong contrast
· Full, upright growth for structural impact
· Consistent coloration across the canopy
