"Thank you very much. My cordylines arrived today :) I am very impressed with your prompt service and the quality of my new babies.

I will definitely order plants from you in the future.

Thanks again, Courtney"

A very hardy plant that likes full sun and a well drained soil.It has neat looking white mottled berries ,and with its spiky branches as a contrast plant it would look good in most gardens.
