Cordyline Pink Passion

Grown for its brilliant colouring, Cordyline australis Pink Passion has long, linear leaves of purplish-grey streaked with shocking pink, magenta and cream. Unlike most cordylines, after developing its trunk to about a metre, it sprouts more stems from the base, maintaining a shrub-like appearance. Perhaps too bright to sit well in a garden planting, Cordyline Pink Passion is excellent in a modern, metal container as a patio plant. Mature plants in soil produce big panicles of white flowers in early summer; container-grown specimens rarely flower, but this is no disadvantage, preserving the clean lines of the leaves. Insulate pots and plant in winter if frost threatens.
