Cordyline australis Can Can is a frost-tender, evergreen shrub, with an upright, clump-forming habit. This decorative, subtropical beauty is low-growing and forms multiple growing points. Its most remarkable feature is its dense clusters of unique colour-changing foliage. The sword-like leaves start off as bright pink on red, transforming to green and cream over time. The leaves are narrow and arching and have a tough, leathery texture. Cordyline australis is native to subtropical parts of New Zealand, where it grows in coastal areas, forest edges and high mountain forests, along river shores and swamps. It can handle drought and cold circumstances pretty well. It’s a great architectural shrub for patio containers as well as for landscaping. Cordyline australis is commonly known as Cabbage Palm or Cabbage Tree. Other internationally used common names for Cordyline australis are: Giant Dracaena; Giant Dracena; Grass Palm; New Zealand Cabbage Tree; Koolboom; Koolplant; Palm Lily; tī kōuka.
