Festival Grass / Photo Gallery

We all know that plants are dynamic, living things, and because we understand so much about our own plants (we carry out trials around the world) we appreciate the subtle differences regarding their growth and habit.

Which is why it’s worthwhile visiting the section of our site which gives you local information – which plants are available; when it’s best to plant, prune and feed them; tips and so on. It’s all here to help you enjoy them more.

Rich burgundy foliage that forms a stunning clump. Even perfect in pots as it is a low water usage plant.

Festival Grass® is a stunning new introduction. A basal branching cordyline that is compact and clumps into a beautiful easy care plant.

The stunning Festival Grass® basal branching cordyline with Burgundy Spire™ cordyline in the background.

New for 2008: With its glossy mahogany/burgundy leaves, compact bushy form and cascading habit, Festival Grass™, the dramatic new cordyline from Anthony Tesselaar Plants, introduces something totally new and desirable to the summer garden, landscape and container plantings. The only basal branching cordyline available, Festival Grass' long strappy leaves cascade to create a fountain effect, swaying in the slightest of breezes to add movement to the garden. Hardy in USDA zones 8 through 11. In colder areas, it is an option to keep Festival Grass indoors overwinter as a houseplant to gain size season by season, sustaining it for future summer garden use. Festival Grass does quite well indoors, maintaining its glossy look and cascading form, even in winter’s lower light.

(agapanthus) I think some are hardier than others, so look on the tag before you buy. I purchased a variety called 'Blue Storm' this spring, and it has never stopped blooming. I hope it makes it through the winter because the tag says Zone 9
