Description
Cordyline are known for their tropical appearance with foliage found in a wide range of colours. There are hardy and tender species of Cordyline, with even the hardier species needing some protection while they are establishing themselves. As they mature they will form a thin trunk with tufts of foliage appearing from the top, and can bring a very tropical feel to your garden, reminiscent of a palm. They are best placed in a sheltered place although young tender varieties are sometimes used in borders as bedding plants.
