Cordyline australis 'Purpurea' is a striking purple-leaved selection of New Zealand's iconic Cabbage Tree (Tī Kōuka). It forms a strong upright trunk topped with dramatic burgundy to deep purple sword-like foliage, making it an outstanding feature tree for modern landscapes, native gardens, and commercial plantings. Hardy and adaptable, 'Purpurea' thrives in coastal, inland, windy and exposed conditions. It is suitable for feature planting, shelter belts, riparian projects, and lifestyle blocks, while providing year-round colour and architectural appeal. Mature trees produce fragrant white flower clusters followed by berries that attract native birds.

Where possible, we source seed from naturally occurring populations as close as practical to their original environment. This helps ensure the plants retain the hardiness and characteristics that have developed over generations in local conditions.
