Flowering Period

Cordyline banksii 'Electric Flash' is a captivating evergreen shrub that forms a lush clump, celebrated for its eye-catching variegated leaves. The foliage features a stunning interplay of reddish-brown central stripes complemented by creamy-yellow edges, creating a striking visual contrast that enlivens any garden space. This particular cultivar is a hybrid of the native New Zealand species, Cordyline banksii, and is cherished not only for its compact growth habit but also for its ornamental charm. In late spring, it graces the landscape with delicate, fragrant white flowers, further enhancing its appeal and making it a delightful addition to any garden.

The plant's upright, sword-like leaves exhibit a unique coloration of olive-brown interspersed with creamy yellow margins, which adds a touch of elegance to various garden settings. 'Electric Flash' thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it versatile enough to adapt to different light conditions. It prefers moist yet well-drained soil, ensuring that its roots remain healthy and vibrant. Once established, this hardy shrub demonstrates remarkable resilience, tolerating both frost and drought, which makes it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance options.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, 'Electric Flash' is also deer-resistant, allowing it to flourish in environments where wildlife may pose a threat to more delicate plants. Minimal pruning is required, with the only maintenance needed being the removal of faded flower stems in early summer. This cultivar can be easily propagated through suckers or basal shoots, making it accessible for those looking to expand their garden. Its salt tolerance further enhances its suitability for coastal gardens, where it can thrive in challenging conditions while providing a stunning focal point. Height: 150cm (59 in) Spread: 150cm (59 in)

Grow Cordylines on fertile, well drained soil. Choose a sheltered position in full sun. Cordylines are particularly well suited to mild coastal locations but do enjoy a fertile soil, so it is well worth incorporating some well rotted manure into the soil when planting.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
