Cordyline aus. 'Torbay Dazzler' C2.5

Cordyline australis ‘Torbay Dazzler’ is a striking evergreen noted for its bold, arching, sword-like leaves vividly variegated green with creamy-white stripes, creating strong architectural impact in Irish gardens. Grow in full sun to light shade in a warm, sheltered, very well-drained site and moderately fertile soil; mature plants may produce domed sprays of small, scented white flowers in summer. Ideal as a focal point and well suited to large containers where drainage can be ensured; in colder or exposed areas of Ireland, provide winter protection and shelter from cold, drying winds.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
