Marie, It is Cordyline purpurea, and has been there without protection for about 15 years.
It is a warm SE facing corner though

Stephen, people disagree with me everytime I open my mouth. Best thing is don't let it get to you. Other people are entitled to have a different opinion.
Having said that , I understand your irritation at the topic being diverted on to minimum temps, rather than Spring, but remember it takes 2 to Tango.
I think we are all suffering from Garden deprivation
so let's just try to hang in there for another 2/3 weeks until we get more spring like weather.
Temps not very spring like here but the Sun is rising

You must have a well insulated house Dave, the idea of a leather chair in a cold house makes me shiver

Kent Gardener - Actually, it's two leather chairs, not a sofa! And I thought my eyes are bad

To be honest either way I wouldn't have stopped gardening so give the community spirit and the fact I'll need lots of questions answering about damage in the Spring I imagine
I think I overreacted with the leaving thing, although I will cut down on the climate stuff, as this is an exotic plant forum afterall

Dave. for some reason, i find the picture with the chairs (and shadow) very sinister & disturbing!
(can't find a smilie for "scared"). Scary!
