Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wanaka Lake, NZ. At first we thought this collection was C. pumilo but these are slowly forming trunks, so we expect whatever this is to become a multiple trunked, large shrub, especially thrilling for us in that this was a high elevation collection in a place that regularly visits the teens °F in the winter with snow. Leaves are green with a most attractive purple flush for much of the season. Grow as for other cordylines in sun to part shade in dampish soil as a container or garden specimen. Ultimate hardiness as yet untested but we are guessing 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8.
