Cordyline are exotic looking plants that resemble palm trees as they have long strap leaves that spike out. They are the perfect choice for planting in a tropical themed garden and work equally well in any garden as a focal point. These evergreen shrubs make fantastic container plants and also work well in a border; they create the perfect foil for other flowering plants and can be used as the central flower of a flower bed. You can identify a cordyline from other similar looking plants by looking at the way the leaves grow; with a cordyline they grow in a rosette which circles the central stem, with other plants (like Phoriums) the leaves grow in a fan shape.

Cordyline 'Can Can'
Cabbage Tree
Common Name: Cabbage TreeLatin Name: Cordyline australis 'Can Can’ Soil: fertile, well-drained soilPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: summer/ tiny white flowers in hot summersHardiness: Half hardyEventual height/spread: 1m/ 1m Special features: Leaves that change from pink to green. The ‘Can Can’ is a colourful plant that is perfect for adding a bold, dramatic splash of colour. The slender, arching leaves emerge red and pink; as they mature they turn to shades of cream and green, giving you an array of colours at the same time. The fountain of strappy leaves makes this a great choice for adding structure and we love it in a container display on a sunny patio. In hot summers you may get an added show of small, scented white flowers and these are popular with the bees. This is a low-maintenance plant, but it does require some frost protection in particularly cold areas. Trustpilot
