A cascading fountain of colour, movement and fragrance - without any effort


Perfect in borders and grand landscapes and a fabulous contrast in rock or pebble gardens, the fantastic, new, ground cover Cordyline, ‘Festival Grass’, has beautiful, cascading deep burgundy foliage and flowers in late Spring with large, multi-branched panicles bearing hundreds of delicate, eye-catching, fragrant, pale lilac flowers.

Festival Grass comes to the UK from Tesselaar International (Tesselaar), the worldwide horticultural experts sourcing stunning, unusual yet easy-care plants. It is amazingly vibrant, low-maintenance and stunning whether it is on its own in a large patio pot or as part of a patio pot garden. It even performs well as an indoor plant in any well-lit situation and can be brought outside on the patio or deck in the summer.


So easy to grow!

The stunning Festival Grass is easy to grow and perfect for low-maintenance gardening. It can be planted in pretty much any free draining soil, pot or planter, without the need for messy or expensive fertilisers. It can thrive in full or partial sun and will even survive light to moderate frost. It is usually not susceptible to disease or pests, so requires practically no tending. When mature, Festival Grass spreads to 120cm and never grows more than 100cm in height – so it offers predictably stunning results without taking over the garden or creating lots of work to tend it.

Festival Grass is a Cordyline species, which are indigenous to Australia, New Zealand and the western Pacific Region. They are small trees or palm-like evergreen shrubs and are often referred to as the Cabbage Tree. This hybrid is unique as it does not grow into a tree.
