Native to tropics, subtropics. Old Southern favorite. Plants add a tropical touch. Large, rich green to bronzy red leaves resemble those of banana (Musa) or ti (Cordyline terminalis). Spikes of large, showy, irregularly shaped flowers bloom on 3 - 6 feet stalks in summer, fall. [Bender, Steve, Southern Living Garden Book, The.
