Black Knight Cordyline boasts dramatic, deep purple to nearly black foliage with a sleek, upright form. Its bold color and sword-like leaves add striking contrast and structure to containers, garden beds, and landscape designs—perfect as a thriller plant in sun-loving arrangements.

To keep your cordyline looking its best, here are some guidelines for care:

• No deadheading required
• Water regularly (allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings)
• Fertilize monthly during the growing season (use a balanced, water soluble fertilizer)
• Grown for foliage
• Heat tolerant
• Protect from frost (bring indoors or treat as annual in Zone 3)
• Great for containers and tropical-style plantings
