We absolutely do have members worldwide. Anyone from anywhere is welcome to participate. I haven't looked for it for quite a while but there is a map somewhere on the site that shows where all our members are.

The NGA name was "adopted" and this site used to be called simply "All Things Plants" which I think was much more inclusive. We did lose a few members when we became NGA, sadly.

But plants certainly know no borders, and on this site we don't either. One big gardening community.

Fanny said: "New Conga" however I see it's sold elsewhere just as "Conga". On the growers web page they have a "Conga" but not a "New Conga", but in the store with the same growers label it's called "New Conga" each picture they look different anyway no matter what they're called. It also looks very much like some of the other green and whitish ones in other countries except the leaves are maybe much larger than most and the white is broader on the margins and clearly splashed across the lower part of the leaf in like an ink spill affect, at least thats what mine looks like. So Im not entirely sure what I have. Anyway Im hoping it's a new cultivar, an improved "Conga". I sent off an email asking.

Got a reply, "New Conga" a tissue culture sport from Microflor in Belgium who specialise in "Veredeling" of plants. Cant for the life of me think what the English for veredeling is. Litral translation is ennobling but in practise it is mainly creating new cultivars, this also includes propagation of virus free plants from meristem culture thus improving them as garden ornamentals, pot plants etc.

Will try and get a picture up.

'Veredeling' would imply a method of hybridization that would improve on the original. That would seem to be the point of ANY hybridization....

Hi - I'm new to cordylines. Love all the pics here and the abundance of information. Here is my first purchase of a coryline bought from a local nursery - no tag of course





Does anyone know the name of this one?

Frenchy, Looks like 'Petite' (guessing the pink pot is a 6"). What is the leaf width and length?

Hi Scott, the leaf length is 3" and the pot size is 4".

Here is the 2nd one I just bought: leaf length is 4 1/2" and pot is 4" also.





Thank you for your input

Could that second one be a young Willii's Gold?


Love the color of the stems on Willii too.

Reminds me of a young Princess 'Kayla'
I will snap a photo tomorrow to explain my thought for this one.

The first one fits the bill for 'Petite' in looks and leaf size.

Wow, Alice, such a beauty!
Here's some of mine. One is Kiwi and I am not sure what is the other one.

I love the bright colors on your Kiwi. I have that red-ish one also but do not know the name either, I can't even remember where I got it.

I don't have any cordylines but fell in love with a pink one, cultivar Pink Pepper, I saw at Longwood Gardens in the conservatory. I would love to have a small plant like this for my home but have not yet found one.

That is a pretty one. Perhaps if you visit Longwood again you can ask one of the gardeners in the conservatory if they can share their source of the plant.

I did that, but they could not add to what I already knew: There is one online source in Florida that has it in a 3 gallon pot. Total cost would be about $48 including shipping. I would like something smaller and cheaper.

A young start from 'Princess Kayla' for comparison.

Looks like 'Xerox'

Carol, I will keep my eyes open for a 'Pink Pepper', as I have seen it for sale here at times. I have not acquired one as I think I have to many pink Ti now.
Is the pink coloring your draw to the plant?

Thank you so much, Scott!
I like both the color and the relatively narrow leaves.

I'm not familiar with Xerox. I was thinking Auntie Lou.

Scott, are Xerox and Auntie Lou the same or very similar? The yellowish green leaves at the bottom are throwing me. I don't remember having seen that color on Auntie Lou, though these may be sun-bleached.

Thank you ScotTi, it could be Xerox. Ron, the greenIsh leaves are from too much sun, I think, as they are in the sunny spot all day.

Similar? Yes.
Both can handle full sun conditions well, but bleaching will occur in the summer on 'Xerox'. 'Auntie Lou' tends to hold the leaf coloration in summer sun.
The leaf color is the clue.
Both full sun grown...
'Xerox' is dark red with lighter red highlights in sun or shade.
JMO 'Xerox' looks better in dappled sun or early AM sun.
