| Description | Cordyline australis
Red Sensation cordylines are a great foliage plant for creating interest in the garden. Also known as Aussie Outdoor Palms, cordylines in general are hardy, low maintenance plants good for modern gardens and pots too. With their sword like leaves and striking colour, red cordylines are a fantastic foliage plant for contrast. They can grow to 1 meter wide by 1.5 meters high, or be trimmed once a year and kept smaller. | Stachys byzantina (syn. lanata)
Irresistibly soft, furry silver foliage, the 'Lambs Ear' is a must have in every Cottage garden.
