Torbay Dazzler Grass Palm
Cordyline australis ‘Torbay Dazzler’
Torbay Dazzler Dracaena Palm is a majestic, large-scale evergreen tree that commands attention with its bold, tropical form and striking variegation. As it matures, it develops a stout, single trunk topped with a massive, bursting fountain of long, sword-like leaves. The leaves are a deep green with a dramatic, broad margin of creamy white to bright yellow. This impressive specimen is fast-growing (for a cordyline) and exceptionally tough, making a spectacular focal point, screen, or avenue tree for large gardens in mild climates.
