Description

Cordyline australis 'Atropurpurea', commonly known as the Purple Cabbage Tree or Bronze Dracaena, is a striking evergreen perennial native to New Zealand. This cultivar is renowned for its sword-like, deep burgundy-purple foliage that adds dramatic vertical interest to gardens and containers. Over time, it develops a palm-like trunk, reaching up to 35 feet in height, making it a standout specimen plant.
