Turn heads with saturated, year-round color. Bauer’s Cordyline stacks narrow, sword-like leaves in a bold burgundy crown, adding instant architecture to beds and large patio planters. The upright, palm-like form reads modern without feeling cold.

Tough where it counts, it handles heat and dry spells once established while staying tidy with minimal grooming. Use one as a focal point, flank an entry with a matching pair, or drop into a container for fast tropical energy.

Bauer’s Cordyline Care

Give 6 or more hours of direct sun for richest foliage; in hot inland climates, afternoon shade keeps leaves pristine. Plant in well-drained soil (sandy or loamy) with a pH around 6.0–7.5; avoid heavy, waterlogged sites. Water regularly the first 2–3 months, then water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; containers dry faster in summer.

Feed in spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer or a palm/citrus formula; a light midsummer top-up supports color. Strip spent lower leaves and remove any flower stalks after bloom to maintain a clean trunk. Hardy outdoors in USDA zones 9–11; in colder zones, grow in containers and overwinter in a bright, frost-free spot. In windy areas, stake young plants their first season. Note: leaves may be harmful if ingested by pets.

Bauer’s Cordyline Spacing

For a specimen, allow a 4–6 foot diameter to showcase the 4–5 foot crown. Keep 3–4 feet from walls, fences, and paths for leaf clearance and airflow. For a dramatic grouping, plant 3–5 feet on center.

In containers, start with a 16–20 inch wide pot at least 14 inches deep with drainage; size up to 22–24 inches as roots expand. Place container plants where they receive full sun and good airflow; weigh pots or add gravel for stability in exposed sites.

Why Grow Bauer’s Cordyline?

  • Statement foliage in saturated burgundy for instant landscape drama
  • Upright, architectural habit that fits modern and tropical designs
  • Heat and drought tolerance once established for low-effort care
  • Equally strong in-ground or as a long-lived container thriller
  • Coastal and urban friendly, with minimal pruning required

Ready to level up your look with one plant? Bauer’s Cordyline delivers sculptural form and rich color in every season—set it, style it, and enjoy the drama.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
