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

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 :roll: 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 icon_thumright

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

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 :wink:

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
