Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Lipstick Palm - Cyrtostachys renda
Few palms command attention like Cyrtostachys renda. The vivid scarlet crown shafts are unmistakable, a signature of high-end tropical landscapes across Southeast Asia and northern Australia. Advanced specimens deliver immediate, resort-calibre presence from the moment of installation.
Why Lipstick Palm
Signature Colouration: Brilliant lipstick-red crown shafts and petioles provide year-round colour without reliance on flowering or seasonal change.
Architectural Form: Slender, upright clustering habit with graceful pinnate fronds; refined without being imposing.
Tropical Climate Performance: Bred for heat and humidity; thrives in tropical and warm subtropical conditions across coastal Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Specimen Impact: Advanced stock specimens establish quickly and deliver immediate visual weight in high-profile settings.
Moisture Tolerance: Well-suited to sites with consistent moisture, including riparian edges and water-adjacent landscapes.
Ideal Applications
Luxury Resort and Hospitality Landscapes: A benchmark species for five-star tropical planting schemes.
High-End Residential Entries: Planted in clusters or as a formal avenue, it establishes immediate prestige at arrival points.
Poolside and Water Feature Settings: Thrives in the humidity and reflected heat typical of aquatic environments.
Contained Specimen Planting: Performs exceptionally in large-format decorative planters for curated outdoor rooms and terraces.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 3m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 5m
Best Planting Season: Spring to early summer (after any risk of cool weather)
Soil & Drainage: Prefers moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil; tolerates boggy or waterlogged conditions; requires consistent moisture
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly during establishment to maintain consistently moist soil, as Lipstick Palms are sensitive to drought stress. Apply a thick organic mulch around the root zone and fertilise with a slow-release palm fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
