This beautiful area was created using contrasting colors of grey green and burgundy. Cordyline baueri – a striking burgundy colored shrub poses amongst grey green licorice plant, Helichrysum petiolare, and artemesia ‘Powis Castle. Succulents at the base provide a beautiful way to tie the whole drought tolerant composition together.

hi,
that looks really pretty, but i can't find that cordyline in the UK. Do you think this one would be ok ?http://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=47
thank you
Hi,
Thank you for your question. It is a beautiful plant, and the one you have chosen would work well. It prefers sun and well drained soil, and looks as good in a container as it does in the ground.
Best wishes,
Heather
