❤️💜Good morning Gardeners and checkout today's Edition of #ContainerGardenThursday right from the shade house 😎🏡❤️💜 . . . Pictured here is the Red Sister plant ( Cordyline fruticosa ) and directly behind are some red Wax Begonias. A fantastic 1-2 punch! 👊🏼👊🏼 . . . Here's an interesting passage about the Red Sister plant from our friends over at www.south-florida-plant-guide.com : "The most common complaint about cordylines is that eventually they can grow tall and leggy, with thin bare trunks (called "canes") and foliage only on top. To encourage a fuller look at varying levels, prune during warm summer weather. To do this, cut off a cane at a lower height and it will usually sprout a new "head" or two from the sides of the cut. Rather than chopping off the heads of all the canes at once, cut the tallest one first. After it sprouts new growth, do the next tallest one. This way some foliage is visible while you're pruning the plant. Plant each cutting back into the ground near the base of the original plant (or start it in a container) - most will root and grow.
