The Cordyline 'Chocolate Queen' is an architectural foliage plant admired for its upright, strap-like leaves, which develop vibrant streaks of green, cream, white, red, purple, and bronze as they mature. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil rich in humus, but it should not be waterlogged. The 'Chocolate Queen' is an excellent choice for containers and indoor spaces; however, it requires protection from cold temperatures and frost.
