Comments

Cordyline fruticosa shrubs have bright colorful pink, purple, or red foliage. These monocotyledons are found in a wide range of locations including Australia, New Zealand, and all the way to Hawaii. Although beautiful as a houseplant, it is toxic to animals due to its production of saponins.
