Hi All

When you buy Cordylines their tags states full sun does that mean they can
cope with our (West Aust) hot summers as well?
My understanding of these plants is that they are from New Zealand so they
wouldnt really be able to cope with our heat?
Any suggestions for growing them/
Thanks
Sandra


What type of cordyline? Cordyline australis takes full sun in
Melbourne with temps up to 40oC so I imagine the same could be said
for WA. In my hands, the fruticosa varieties fry under anything more
than semi-shade.
