Spectacular 'Red plant': Firebrand

[Cecil Lee]

This is a very easy to grow especially just plant into the ground and "forget" about it!.

It does not have flowers.. But, it's natural reddish colour is spectacular! Those that get the right sunlight will turned a beautiful maroon with chilli red tones or hews in it's leaves.

Little sunlight and it turns light brown to even dull "blood clot" red that looks like rust coloured plants.

Chinese love or consider red colour auspicious. This is why, this person, landscaped the public walkway outside his home with lots of "red variety" plants.

This plant's scientific name is Cordyline fruitcosa and it belongs to the Agavaceae family.
