Cordyline terminalis 'Baby Doll'
Hawaiian Ti Plant
There are three main varieties which are the tricolor (green with red, pink and cream), red edge (green with red streaks), and plain green. Dwarf varieties are also widely available. It produces small whitish or pink colored flowers in it's natural habitat, but it's very unlikely to bloom indoors. The leaves branch off from the main trunk in a new roseste of leaves, similar a dracaena plant. The lower leaves also die to encourage new growth.
