Cordyline australis 'Torbay Dazzler' has rigid green and cream striped strappy leaves that grow on top of an elongating trunk that develops as the plant matures. The Torbay Dazzler is one of the lightest and brightest coloured Cordyline australis varieties, making it an excellent plant to contrast against other plants in the garden or a darker wall or fence. The Cabbage Palm is an ideal plant for a beginner or easy-going plant to add to your collection.
