Friday 2nd April..CORDYLINE 'Torbay Dazzler'

it looks lovely

It has stayed very healthy all through the winter and didnt have any real protection...I just pushed it against a wall....I potted it on the other day...i shall appreciate it a bit more in future Holly...

its certainly done well..........

:>))

It's really surprising it survived the severe winter outdoors! Was the wall south-facing? Impressed!!!!

No Tommy.. I had it on raised decking, facing west...tucked against a wall...My big Cordyline and i mean BIG, that was planted in the ground, turned to mush....Im impressed too....I didnt even wrap the pot???..:>)

Thank you for your reply, Motinot! I've just looked at the big Cordyline of yours. Beautiful!!!

Not any more Tommy lol...I cut it down mid-way down the trunks...but still no sprouts......:<(

Oh, sad to hear that. I look forward to hearing good news!!!!!!!

We gardeners have to take the rough with the smooth...don't we?...:>)

That's the spirit! I often worry too much about weather etc but better off with the "don't-worry-be-happy" attitude, because the great majority of things in this world are beyond our control~~ :)

True....And the loss of plants is sad...but hey...they can be replaced....I lost about 30 dahlias in the ground this winter...but it gives me the opportunity to plant exciting new ones...:>))

Yes, having new plants is very exciting. But I do hope your Cordyoine will shoot. It'd be really nice!!
