Torbay Dazzler Cordyline
Cordyline australis ‘Torbay Dazzler’
1 quart pot
 
A bold, architectural plant, Torbay Dazzler cordyline features long, sword-like leaves striped in green and creamy white, creating a bright, tropical look in the garden. As it matures, it forms a slender trunk topped with a fountain of variegated foliage, making it an excellent focal point in containers or landscape plantings. Its striking form pairs well with both structured and more naturalistic designs.
 
Best grown in well-drained soil, this variety thrives in sunny, sheltered locations and benefits from protection from cold winds and hard frost. In milder climates, it can grow into a small tree, while in colder areas it is often used as a container plant that can be moved or protected in winter. Its drought tolerance improves with establishment, but it performs best with occasional deep watering.
