This is a palm-like, sub-tropical tree that grows with an upright habit and with age will branch to produce several heads of deep green sword-like strap leaves that have a very thin stripe of pink down the midrib and along the leaf's base. Like the other colorful Cordyline australis cultivars this plant should grow to be a branched 10 to 20 foot tall by 5 to 10 foot wide evergreen tree and produces large panicles of small, sweet-scented flowers in late spring to summer. Best in full coastal sun to light shade - some shade protection necessary in hotter inland gardens. It is drought tolerant in coastal gardens but responds well to occasional to regular irrigation. Useful in dry gardens but also offers a tropical look. A great container plant. It can tolerate coastal conditions if protected from direct sea winds. Common Name: Ti Plant, Hawaiian Good Luck Plant
