Festival Burgundy Cordyline
Best architectural accent for gardeners seeking year-round, low-maintenance color.
This architectural evergreen brings a much-needed jolt of deep burgundy to your landscape without the high-maintenance demands of fussier perennials. It offers a striking, grass-like structure that holds its own year-round, though you’ll have to sacrifice the lush, sprawling habit of traditional shrubs for its sharp, vertical silhouette.
