Cordyline 'Abmuz' (Red Cordyline) - A nice Cordyline with multiple upright stems holding glossy dark reddish bronze leaves. With time a main trunk up to 5 feet tall can form and in summer appear small cream flowers in a branching inflorescence. Plant in full sun (along coast) to shade in a well-drained soil and water regularly to occasionally. Hardy to 20° F. Suckers from the base so larger stems can be cut back to maintain a lower growing plant reminiscent to a New Zealand Flax (Phormium sp.). Cordyline 'Abmuz' is our name for reversions out of tissue cultured plants of the showy Cordyline 'Zumba' that has the same base color foliage, but with bright pink margins – for more information on this parent plant, see our listing at Cordyline 'Zumba' . This cultivar name is simply the parent plants name spelled backwards.
This information is based on research conducted about this plant in our nursery library and from reliable online sources. We also take into consideration observations of it in our nursery of crops, as well as of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens we have visited. We will incorporate comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if it includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Cordyline 'Abmuz'. |
