Plant very well packaged and protected but poor handling by the delivery person who presented it to me upside down: the upper leaves are damaged. It's a shame because the plant is beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing its progress ....

Description
Cordyline australis Red Star is a hardy perennial shrub with very decorative, evergreen bronze-red foliage consisting of long, narrow, arching leaves arranged in a rosette.
In summer, clusters of small white star-shaped flowers emerge, emitting a pleasant fragrance. The flowering is nectar-rich. The clusters stand at the end of long branches. It will not flower when grown in a pot. The flowers are followed by small decorative berries. This plant is also known as Dracaena australis Red Star. It can reach a height of 3.50 to 4m (11 in 6 ft - 13 in 1 ft) at maturity and a width of 1.50 to 2m (4 in 11 ft - 6 in 7 ft). The Red Star variety has a long lifespan and grows more slowly than the species.
Originating from New Zealand, Cordyline Red Star is hardy and resilient in mild climates, particularly coastal regions. It can only withstand temperatures ranging from -5°C (23 °F) to -8°C (17.6 °F). Therefore, it is best to grow it in a pot and bring it indoors to a cold greenhouse during winter. Cordyline Red Star will thrive in temperate gardens as well as exotic gardens. You can even grow it as a flowering hedge. It is often found in public gardens. In coastal regions, you can use it as a windbreak.

Planting and care
Cordyline australis Red Star thrives in the sun in moist and well-drained soil. It can withstand winds and sea spray, but needs shelter from cold, north winds. It appreciates high summer temperatures but dislikes waterlogged soils. When planting in spring, add some sand. In winter, protect the top of the bush with fleece. Cordyline does not require any particular pruning; just remove dried leaves and faded flowers. Only water in case of drought. It has few pests as it does not attract predators.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
