Cordylines add colour to the landscape and can range from glossy green to reddish purple to a combination of colours (red, purple, yellow or white) and that is just the leaves. The trunk of this evergreen shrub is palm like and can grow to as tall as 10 feet in about 10-15 years time. The leaves of the cordyline can come in a variety of colours and are about 12-30 inches in length and about 4-6 inches in width making a dazzling colour show in all gardens – what a perfect specimen!!
