Overview

The Narrow Leaved Palm Lily, Cordyline stricta, is an attractive, evergreen shrub. It stands 3-10 feet tall with slender, arching leaves, offering a striking vertical element to landscapes. In summer, it bears small, fragrant, purple flowers, followed by dark berries. This hardy specimen thrives in partial shade to full sun and requires well-drained soil. It's excellent for accent planting or as a container focal point, and is drought-tolerant once established.
