Fabulous fluorescent pink ‘corn leaves’ cascade down the stems of this full sun cordyline; its displays of lush abundance promise ‘pre-historic tropic’ appeal.
Full sun will be best to achieve the vivid colouring of the leaves.
Dimensions: 3 – 5m in good conditions.
Flowers: appear in late autumn producing large sprays of white and mauve flowers followed by intense red berries.
Foliage: fluorescent pink is the main feature of the plant with long thin leaves clinging to the stem and descending to the ground giving a dense appearance. Regular pruning adds to the thick bushy look and the cuttings can be planted directly into the ground to create a mass planting effect.
Uses: A tall, slender growth habit makes this plant a useful fit for narrow available growing space such as light wells, tall walls of inner-city gardens or between houses.
