Cabbage Tree Peko (Cordyline australis 'Peko')

For instant architectural drama, few plants beat a cordyline. 'Peko' is a selected form of the famously hardy New Zealand cabbage tree, producing a striking fountain of long, sword-like leaves that adds structure to gardens, courtyards and large pots, in almost any conditions you throw at it.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Peko

✔ Architectural Form - a bold fountain of strappy leaves with real designer impact.

✔ Extremely Hardy - cabbage trees cope with drought, wind, frost and coastal exposure.

✔ Evergreen Structure - keeps its sculptural shape every day of the year.

✔ Pot Friendly - grows happily for years in large containers.

✔ Low Maintenance - simply pull away spent lower leaves as it grows.

🏡 How to Use Peko in Your Garden

✅ Feature Planting - a strong vertical accent among lower shrubs and grasses.

✅ Courtyards and Pots - instant resort style in containers by doors and pools.

✅ Coastal Gardens - reliable structure in sandy, windswept sites.

✅ Mixed Borders - repeat plants through a bed for rhythm and height.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade in free-draining soil; suits cool temperate through to subtropical Australia.
  • Spacing: Allow around 1m between plants; it grows as a slim upright trunk with a leafy head over time.
  • Best Planting Time: Spring or autumn, though tubes can go in most of the year in mild areas.
  • Watering & Care: Water regularly in the first year, then it is largely self-sufficient. Feed in spring and remove tired lower leaves to keep it neat.

❔ FAQs About Peko

Does it really cope with frost?
Yes, Cordyline australis is one of the most cold-tolerant cordylines and handles frosty inland winters far better than its tropical cousins.

Will it grow in a pot long term?
Very well. Choose a large container with quality mix, water through summer and it will remain a striking feature for years.

How big will it get?
In the ground cabbage trees slowly develop a trunk and can eventually become a small palm-like tree, but growth is easily enjoyed for many years at shrub scale, especially in pots.
