    Brand new and very showy, trunk forming cordyline, branching with age, the dark burgundy leaves dressed with pink margins and a pink midstripe. Slow growing, to 4-8' tall x 3-4' wide, they have panicles of sweet, white flowers in spring. Full sun on the coast to bright shade inland. Somewhat drought tolerant once established, but some summer water is appreciated. Good container plant. Frost hardy to 15 °F, mid to upper USDA zone 8.
