Plants for Difficult Places

Red Sister Cordyline

20 years ago

When I was in Florida I fell in love with "Red Sister Cordyline" so I now have one in Wisconsin.My question is- When fall comes can I bring my plat indoors??What if anything special that I must do to keep my plant alive. Will it die and then come back like a perennial or does it just keep growing?

Hi
Probably best to bring in before first frost.They will tolerate some frost but no freeze. In this part of Florida they are evergreen or in this case everred lol.You can bring it indoors and keep as a houseplant.Give as much light as possible and on th dry side during winter.I'm sure it will enjoy being out during summer. But watch that frost.
gary.
