Cordyline ‘Black Magic’ is a foliage selection valued for its dark, near-black coloration and bold visual presence.
This selection features long, narrow leaves in deep burgundy to nearly black tones, creating a sleek, high-contrast appearance. The linear foliage enhances its architectural quality, giving the plant a more defined, directional look compared to broader-leaf varieties. Its strong vertical habit and dramatic color make it particularly effective as a focal point in containers, modern plantings, and high-contrast combinations. This cordyline is widely used in tropical and decorative programs for its striking color, clean structure, and ability to create strong visual definition in designed plantings.
Why it works
· Near-black foliage for dramatic contrast
· Narrow leaves create a clean, modern look
· Strong vertical structure for focal use
