Cordyline ‘Design-A-Line’
Design-A-Line Cordyline is a sleek, modern cultivar prized for its exceptionally narrow, upright form and deep burgundy foliage. Its leaves are very thin, stiff, and a consistent dark wine-red color, growing in an incredibly tight, vertical clump that resembles a slender, architectural exclamation point. This ultra-compact habit makes it the perfect choice for adding strong vertical lines and rich color to tight spaces, formal plantings, or contemporary designs where precision is key.

Ultra-Narrow, Columnar Habit: Grows in an extremely tight, vertical clump of foliage, rarely exceeding 2-3 feet in width, making it ideal for narrow spaces and linear designs.
-
Consistent Deep Burgundy Foliage: Features thin, rigid leaves that maintain a deep, dark red-burgundy color in both sun and partial shade.
-
Perfect for Formal Edging & Containers: Its precise, linear growth makes it superb for creating geometric patterns, lining driveways or pathways, or as a "thriller" in modern container compositions.
-
Slow-Growing & Low-Maintenance: Requires very little care and grows slowly, maintaining its intended shape for years without pruning.

Architectural Accent for Small Spaces: An excellent solution for adding height and dark color to small urban gardens, patio corners, or balcony planters without overwhelming the area.
