Hi Helen, great to see this thread up and running! Thank you for all the advice and information you have given. My own experience of growing Cordyline is quite limited to the hardy species. We have C. rubra growing along the driveway in a very narrow space (400 mm), as a clump with espaliered Camellia japonica. A nice look. The vertical height is great and the contrast of foliage colour (dark green Camellia / beetroot red Cordyline) is a plus.

We have tried some of the more recent cultivars (usually gifts), but have found them a little slow.
Frost is not their friend! :(

Looking forward to learning more. Thanks again Helen.
