Tropical Plants

Similar to Phormium - but what is it ?

16 years ago

I have forgotten the name, but they get huge, and are more expensive than your regular Phormium/New Zealand Flax. The ones I speak of are not a "cluster" of leaves but grow in a single fan - kind of like an iris style. The two main colors are a purple one, or a yellow/white/green/red one. Remind me what this is! Thanks

Perhaps a Cordyline?
