Cordyline ‘Pink Passion’ – Bold, Tropical Colour with Striking Pink Variegation
Cordyline ‘Pink Passion’ is one of the most dramatic and instantly eye-catching Cordylines, loved for its vibrant blend of hot pink, deep purple, and rich burgundy foliage. Its long, sword-like leaves rise in a graceful fountain, bringing height, movement, and a vivid splash of tropical colour to the garden.
Perfect as a feature plant in borders or a statement piece in large containers, ‘Pink Passion’ offers a contemporary, exotic look that holds its own throughout the year. The vivid pink tones glow beautifully in sunlight, creating a dynamic contrast against darker-leaved plants and silver foliage alike.
As it matures, the plant develops a slim trunk, enhancing its architectural presence and giving a palm-like silhouette that suits modern, coastal, and Mediterranean-style gardens. Hardy in mild regions and tolerant of sun, drought, and coastal exposure, it thrives in free-draining soil and rewards minimal care with maximum impact.
Vibrant, stylish, and effortlessly dramatic, Cordyline ‘Pink Passion’ is the perfect choice for gardeners looking to add bold, year-round colour and structural elegance.
