Cordyline indivisa
Blue Dracaena
Description
This palm-like plant is highlighted by sword-like, narrow, green leaves. It reaches 10' tall but will be smaller if grown in containers. White fragrant flowers bloom in spring. This perennial does well in full to part sun and will need only occasional water once it's established. It tolerates coastal conditions and does well near pools. It can be grown indoors especially in areas with frost. This is a great plant for a tropical look.
