Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / June 2008

g'day sandra,

i always treat them as tropicals as they feature in islander culture
landscapes, so not sure about the nz factor at all?

if the tag says full sun then full sun is exactly that where ever you
may live, of course if teh plant isn't sun hardened then the leaves
will get some sun damage but they will over time be replaced by new
sun hardened leaves.

With peace and brightest of blessings,

len & bev

What type of cordyline? Cordyline australis takes full sun in
Melbourne with temps up to 40oC so I imagine the same could be said
for WA. In my hands, the fruticosa varieties fry under anything more
than semi-shade.

Hi
I will need to go & check, I know I had the plant "red fountain " growing &
the sun burnt it & it was bought from a nursery that sun hardens its plants.
As well I have found flax's aren't meant for our heat.
cheers
