    This cultivar performed very poorly for me and eventually died.

    I purchased three plants in late winter, 2017, and maintained them as house plants until spring. My goal was to use them as spikes (thrillers) in outdoor pots once spring arrived. By spring, two plants were dead, and the third appeared viable but not robust, so I planted that one in a pot with a Coleus, Petrosedum rupestre subsp. Rupestre 'Angelina' and New Guinea Impatiens (Impatiens hawkerii 'Tamarinda Purple Bicolor'). The Cordyline banksii Electric Pink then died as the two other plants of this cultivar had done. The other plants in the pot are doing fine.
