Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought in mild coastal regions. Survives moderate frosts, but may go dormant at 15° F. In harsher winter climates, bring indoors before threat of frost. |
| History | An Anthony Tesselaar International introduction. Festival ™ Burgundy's parentage includes: C. australis, C. pumilio, and C. banksii. Cordylines normally grow into small trees or palm-like evergreen shrubs with a trunk, however the Festival™ cordylines are different in that in that they are basal branching, forming multiple short stems spreading out from the base of the plant to create a sturdy low-growing grass-like plant, reaching no more than 3 feet tall. |
| Lore | Cordylines are indigenous to Australia, New Zealand and the western Pacific region. This vast group is classified in the Agavaceae family with most members native to India, Australasia and Polynesia. The genus was named by French botanist, Philibert Commerson in the middle 18th century who derived it from the Greek for club, referring to the thick club-shaped root. The entire genus Cordyline is always subject to a great deal of confusion because of their similarity to both Phormium and Yucca. This is complicated by their former genus, Dracaena, Batistii, and Robinsoniana. |
