Notes
Blue dracaena palm (Cordyline indivisa) is a shrub for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil. The broad green-grey leaves have an orange stripe down the middle. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Plant it in a chunky mix for excellent drainage.
Pairs well with Chinese money plant, Cycad, and Kimberly queen fern.
