Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A green-leaved cordyline, despite the name, with narrow, upright leaves of pale green edged in white and blushed pink near the base -- looking a bit sun splashed. A newer selection, so far slow growing to only 2-6' tall x 3-4' wide. Does well in full sun on the coast with wind protection or part shade inland with protection from the hottest sun. Somewhat drought tolerant, especially on the coast, but appreciated occasional to regular summer water. Frost hardy to 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8. Mulch for extra winter protection and wrap for extreme weather. Resprouts from the base.
