Cordyline australis 'Variegata' - Pianta dall'aspetto di palma con foglie variegate

Cordyline australis 'Variegated' is a striking architectural plant, with an elegant upright habit and long, sword-shaped leaves variegated in shades of green and cream, sometimes with pinkish edges. Also known as "New Zealand dracaena", this cultivar is ideal for creating visual focal points in modern gardens, on terraces, or in large pots.

As the plant matures, it can develop a slender trunk, and the foliage forms a decorative crown reminiscent of a palm tree. It is hardy, easy to care for, and drought-tolerant, preferring sunny exposure.
