‘Polished in Pinstripes’ is a Cordyline, sure to bring some eye catching leafjoy into your collection! This striking plant grows in an upright habit and features elongated, lance-shaped leaves with variegated brushstrokes of creamy yellow, green, maroon, and brown–akin to the sophistication of pinstripes on a well-tailored suit. This tropical plant, native to the islands of the Pacific Ocean, prefers to grow in bright light, and will have darker tones of purple to brown if grown in a higher light situation.
