Cordyline fruticosa 'Peter Buck'

A glory of Hawaiian gardens. This robust cordyline has wide, bold leaves with purple-orange tones. They are thicker than usual and a bit waxy, so the leaf have some blueish colour too.

As all cordylines, it can be kept low by pruning or air layering the shoots that become too tall. It will sprout new shoots from the base or from the cut.

Cordyline fruticosa can grow indoors as a house plant, but these Hawaiian selections will also be perfect in the tropical or subtropical garden. They can take cool temperatures but will be damaged or killed by frost.

The plant we offer is 20-40 cm tall and it is about 1 year old from cutting. It is grown in a pot of about 10-12 cm.
