Description:
Cordyline Electric Star is a compact, clump forming Cordyline that doesn't develop a bare single stemmed trunk. Instead it develops side shoots that together with its slightly arching leaves provides a denser foliage plant. Cordyline Electric Star generates multiple shoots to form a clump of green and chocolate striped leaves. Electric Star’s bright green and chocolate striped leaves will add interest to both residential and commercial projects. Easy to incorporate into large commercial plantings because of its predominant green colour. Up close, it's burgundy stripes are easily recognized and will provide the visual appeal desired around patios, terraces and building entrances. Grows approx 1.2m H.
