Cordyline australis 'Torbay Dazzler'

Plant details

This stunning foliage plant has spiky, variegated leaves with bold cream stripes and margins. A native of New Zealand, it makes an excellent container plant for patios and elsewhere. It needs warmth and shelter, and is not quite hardy inland - plants are best protected before the winter frosts by bundling up the foliage in a sleeve of sacking, wrapped around in several layers and then covered with a plastic bag to keep the leaves dry. Potted plants can be brought under glass for the winter.
