Cordyline stricta (Cordyline stricta) is a popular choice for Central Coast gardens. Occasional mauve flower spikes in summer, with foliage plant, mauve flower spikes colouring. As a Central Coast garden centre based right here in Erina Heights, we know what thrives in our warm, humid summers and mild, coastal winters. It prefers part shade to full sun and moderate, drought tolerant once established. Reliable, low-fuss architectural foliage for tropical-look gardens.
