Pink Passion Dracaena Palm is a breathtaking and unique cultivar that combines the hardy, architectural form of a New Zealand Cabbage Tree with an unexpected and beautiful blush of color. Its long, sword-like leaves are a soft grayish-green, broadly edged in a delicate but distinct shade of pink, especially on new growth. As it matures into a small, single-trunked tree, it provides a soft, romantic, yet structural element to the garden. Its surprising cold hardiness makes this tropical-looking beauty achievable in many temperate climates.

Unique Soft Pink-Edged Foliage: Boasts long, arching leaves in a soft gray-green with attractive pink to rose-pink margins, offering a subtle and sophisticated color palette.
Hardy Tree-Like Form: Develops a single, straight trunk over time, topped with a dense head of foliage, creating a palm-like silhouette that is much hardier than true palms.
Excellent Cold Hardiness: Surprisingly frost-tolerant for a pink-foliaged plant, generally hardy in Zones 8-11, making it suitable for many Bay Area gardens.
Drought & Wind Tolerant: Once established, it is very resilient to dry conditions, wind, and coastal exposure.
Romantic Focal Point: Its soft colors and graceful form make it an ideal specimen for adding a touch of romantic, tropical flair to cottage gardens, modern landscapes, or mixed borders.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: How do I encourage the pink color?
A: The pink is most pronounced on new growth and in cooler temperatures (spring and fall). Providing ample sunlight will also help maintain the color intensity. In too much shade, the pink may fade.

Q: Will it eventually look like a tree?
A: Yes, over many years, the lower leaves will naturally fall away, revealing a textured, woody trunk. You can also carefully remove the lower leaves once they brown to encourage a cleaner, tree-like appearance sooner.
