Cordyline australis
Sunrise looks great with the light shining through the leaves. In
time Cordyline Sunrise will grow into a small 20 foot tree, they are
pretty slow growing and can be used much like a Phormium for short to
mid-range garden planning. After 2 years in the ground the leaves
top out at 3-4 feet. Cordyine Sunrise has fragrant flowers in the
Spring and Summer. Plants can grow in full sun near the coast but
seem to prefer partial shade for hot inland gardens. Cordyline
Sunrise is quite drought tolerant once established. Plants are
Winter hardy into the mid to high teens.
