Cordyline in Middle Garden

These two plants (a Cordyline and a summer flowering Hypericum) are good summer neighbours on the edge of Duck Lawn.

The trunk of the original Cabbage Tree became very scruffy, I noticed it was also sprouting at the base, so I chopped off the main growth. I'm hoping that this new version might grow two trunks.

In this early photograph from the Moosey Archives, taken in 1999, you might be able to see the naughty Golden Hop behind the Cordyline. In this picture there is a small clump of Bergenias in front of the visible tree stump. Keep your eye on that stump.

This garden is well sheltered from wind, and gets very sunny in summer. Shrubs like the Hypericum and the variegated Pittosporums love it here, and show their appreciation by reaching for the sky!
