It's ti time! Ti plants, of the genus Cordyline, are most commonly grown has houseplants. Which is fine, but gee, they look great in the garden too. Once the weather warms up I usually make a trip down to Lowe's or Home Depot, grab a few cheap ti plants and use them to plug any holes in the border. They look even better when you enliven the color combos with some long-flowering tender perennials such as this duranta (Duranta 'Homerus Depotus').

That's a vibrant, fun combo. Those are both hardy here in Austin. Well, at least some cordylines are.
Great plants. I bet you can see them down the street too! Glad I found you on blotanical.
That is a fab combo! Thanks for the reminder, I need a few inexpensive fillers that add that something special in color to the greenery! gail
Pam--Hardy cordylines sound great. Most gardeners I know have some form or other of zone envy. Is that true in Texas too?
