Our boss James has two plants that he looks after and treasures in his office - Blue Moon peace lily, and this one. It's also the favourite cordyline of the Tropical Garden Society of Sydney. And when you see a full-grown specimen you'll understand why.

Willy's leaves are much broader and rounder than most cordylines, a wide canvas to paint on those exuberant, joyful brushstrokes of pink, rose, gold, lime, emerald and lemon.

Mature plants may also give you an extra surprise of vibrant pink flowers - Willy is generous like that!

USE FOR : Tropical gardens for foliage colour; alongside palms and gingers. Ideally suited to indoor and container planting

Give them plenty of water in the first 8-12 weeks and avoid exposing them to hot sunlight until they establish.
CARE : Remove any dead foliage and cut back in spring if plants become leggy. Water regularly during dry periods. Apply liquid fertiliser following extended dry periods and every 3 months for lush foliage. Cutting foliage off is fine as the plant will regrow from the stem.
MATURE HEIGHT & WIDTH : 1.5m H x 1m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
