What is the plant

The Pink Cordyline is a perennial evergreen shrub with a dramatic look due to its sword-shaped leaves and intense hues. When the plant is still young, its leaves produce a deep red coloring. As it matures and becomes established, it slowly changes to dark burgundy and bright pink color. At full growth, this plant will reach around 2- 4 feet high and wide, but it usually averages around 3 feet in height. By late spring, small white flowers will bloom through the summer. This plant is perfect for anybody wanting to add visual appeal and a plant that needs minimal care.
