Growing cordylines
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 |

Growing cordylines
g'day sandra,
i always treat them as tropicals as they feature in islander culture landscapes, so not sure about the nz factor at all? if the tag says full sun then full sun is exactly that where ever you may live, of course if teh plant isn't sun hardened then the leaves will get some sun damage but they will over time be replaced by new sun hardened leaves.

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. |

Growing cordylines
Hi
I will need to go & check, I know I had the plant "red fountain " growing & the sun burnt it & it was bought from a nursery that sun hardens its plants. As well I have found flax's aren't meant for our heat. cheers Sandra "Sandra Bodycoat" wrote in message . au...
