Description

Meet Cordyline banksii 'Electric Star' a compact, clump forming cordyline that brings bold foliage interest to both residential and commercial gardens. With its predominantly green leaves accented by rich burgundy stripes, Electric Star is versatile enough to blend into large commercial plantings while still turning heads up close around patios, terraces and building entrances.

Like Electric Flash, it never develops a bare single trunk, instead throwing out multiple side shoots to form a dense, lush clump of slightly arching striped leaves. At around 1.2m tall, it fits neatly into spaces where larger cordylines would overwhelm, making it a go to choice for designers and landscapers who need reliable, low maintenance architectural foliage.

Key Features:

• Bold green and chocolate striped foliage with burgundy tones.

• Compact clumping habit. Develops side shoots for a denser, fuller plant rather than a bare single trunk.

• Fast growth rate reaching approximately 1-2m H x 1-2m W.

• Highly versatile - ideal for pots, courtyards, mass plantings, coastal gardens and tropical style gardens.

• Low maintenance with high frost tolerance and moderate drought resistance.

• Easy to incorporate into large commercial plantings due to its predominant green colour.

• Generally trouble free from pests and diseases.
