Cordyline Electric Star™ 180MM

Cordyline banksii 'Sprilecstar' Electric Star™'

I am Cordyline Electric Star™. My family originated from New Zealand.

Habit Strappy - Design Edge®

Plant family Asparagaceae

I am a compact Cordyline with multiple shoots to form a clump of richly and unusually coloured strappy leaves. The bright green and chocolate striped foliage is a fantastic sight when mass planted or used individually in large patio pots. I am hardy in a range of soils and conditions. I am a good choice for shaded locations including as an indoor plant. I have pleasantly perfumed white flowers in summer.
