Cordyline species are indigenous to Australia, New Zealand and the western Pacific region. They are normally small trees or palm-like evergreen shrubs. Festival Grass^® Burgundy is a different cordyline. It is basal branching, it forms multiple short stems spreading out from the base of the plant to create a sturdy low-growing grass plant, no more than three feet high. Its long strappy leaves cascade to create a fountain effect that is highly prized in garden and container plantings. Festival Grass^® Burgundy is the only basal-branching cordyline on the market today.

Festival Grass^® Burgundy cordyline combines the rugged easy-care attributes of its cordyline cousins with an unusual mix of shiny dark color, compact bushy form, short stems and cascading grass-like leaves. In late Spring and Summer, Festival Grass^® Burgundy cordyline also features small, star-shaped blush pink flowers.

Festival Grass^® Burgundy cordyline grows quickly, forming large clumps of stunning foliage. They are ideal when planted out on banks, borders or municipal plantings. These low-maintenance plants will perform and provide a stunning show.
