MBN 1Gal Cordyline sellowiana 'Pink Joy'

tricolor-variegated leaves are short, stiff, rather hard (snail resistant!!! snail resistant!!! snail resistant!!!), grey green in color streaked white and pink. In cool weather it becomes tinted deep violet around the leaf edges. New growth is most intensely colored, and at its best in at least part sun - colors fade in deep shade though the plant still performs well. Winter flowers are palest lilac, displayed in short, branched spikes near the tips of the narrow, vertical stems. To 3' or more in height in full to part sun, spreading to just 2'. It's tough enough for commercial landscapes, beautiful and intriguing enough for home gardens. It's also a natural, compact container plant for home, porch or patio. In all applications it stands out best against a darker background. This has survived 28F at my own house with minimal damage, and sprouts vigorously from the roots whenever cut back close to the crown. It should be able to survive much colder but not on a regular basis. USDA zone 9/Sunset zones 9, 16-24.
