Cordyline 'Dance Paso Doble' brings burgundy and cream striping to containers and beds, with narrow upright growth that reads architectural against softer plantings. Set it out once frost danger passes and it'll hold its color through heat.

Bright light keeps the variegation sharp; in partial shade the stripes fade toward solid green. Water when the soil dries out and pinch the top early to encourage branching if you want a bushier shape.
