Cabbage Tree Pink Passion in the GardenTags plant encyclopedia

Cordyline australis 'Pink Passion'

 

Cabbage Tree 'Pink Passion'

An attractive palm type shrub or small tree with arching leaves, long and sword shaped. Cordylines can produce clusters of scented flowers in the summer. There are lots of varieties, some of which can grow to 8 meters tall. Pull off dead leaves as soon as they die to keep the plant looking good and to prevent disease. 'Pink Passion' has to be the most brightly coloured, almost sureal, of all the pink Cordylines, with magenta and purple variegated leaves. Great in a container.
