Cordyline Black Knight is an eye-catching evergreen plant known for its dramatic, dark burgundy to nearly black, sword-like leaves. The plant forms a single trunk with a fountain of leaves on top. This striking foliage adds a bold contrast to any garden setting.

Ideal for adding architectural interest, Cordyline Black Knight is perfect for contemporary, tropical, and formal garden styles. It can be used to make it an impressive focal point or a dramatic addition to garden beds and borders or even in large containers. This plant is especially suited for coastal gardens due to its tolerance of salt and wind. Hardy and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Adaptable to various soil types, this Cordyline will perform best when spaced about 1-1.5m apart to allow ample room for its striking leaves to spread. 

At maturity, Cordyline Black Knight reaches a height of 3m and spread of approximately 1m.

Trimming: Regularly remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. Cut back any long, straggly stems to encourage a more compact growth habit.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilising as it can lead to leaf burn.

Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and in extreme dry periods. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot. Allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings.

Pest Control: Watch for pests such as spider mites and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil, ensuring thorough coverage of all leaves.

Disease Management: Cordyline Black Knight is generally disease-resistant. However, be vigilant for signs of root rot, which can be managed by improving drainage and reducing watering frequency.
