Weathered Pink Cordyline

I'm a novice gardener and didn't realise that my Pink Cordyline would need protection from the winter elements. It's currently looking very sad indeed with lots of damaged leaves.
Any advice welcome. The crown seems to be healthy and is sprouting new leaves. Should I cut the dead leaves back now or wait until later in the spring/ summer?

 

Hi,
I have one of these, in a pot which I used to move inside (shed) in Winter for protection, but as it’s now so heavy I left it outside ( could have wrapped in in fleece but didn’t) and it’s come through fine.I have just taken off any dead leaves, and fed it.I regularly water it along with any other pots throughout Winter as they still need some moisture in long dry spells.
Yours does seem to have a lot of damaged leaves, so if it’s in an exposed position in the garden consider wrapping it next Winter?

 

Rather than cutting off the leaves, if you're likely to have more frosts, you could gather them up around the crown and tie them loosely around it for protection. Make sure they're dry, though. That's the classic way of protecting Cordylines. With added fleece around the base and/ or bubble wrap around the pot if it gets really cold.

 

Not likely to get any weather cold enough now, until next winter, to warrant protection, if it's come this far.
Think I would just leave it for now and cut the damaged leaves right back to the stem when growth restarts.

 

Thank you everyone for your advice. Yes, I'll definitely be protecting it next winter!

 

Just a tip, Sarahlou79....if you indicate your rough location in your profile, the advice will be more tailored to your situation

 

Do you know what sort of pink Cordyline it is? They appear to have variable hardiness. Charlie Boy appears to be more hardy than the pink passion / sensation variants, although it doesn't look like Charlie Boy from the picture.
