From near Bilpin, New South Wales further north to Queensland.[7] C. stricta has become naturalised in Victoria.[8]

Cultivation

Cordyline stricta is widely planted in gardens and commercial landscapes for the ornamental value of both its foliage and flower heads and berries. Its tall, narrow growth makes it useful as a screen plant. C. stricta is adaptable to a wide range of climate and planting situations, from full sun to shade, and is moderately drought tolerant once established. It does not tolerate frost well.[9]

 

Ecological

Cordyline stricta is a host plant for Yellow-streaked Swift caterpillars.[6]
