My specimen may be "Xerox" or "Rooster Tail", or possibly another cultivar, as it is deep to lighter maroon with the narrower fruticosa leaves (not thin, draceana-like), and it was simply labeled "Cordyline" at Walmart.

Tender/Not Cold Hardy
I bought two pots in very poor shape on clearance for $2 each. Watered daily with no improvement, so placed them in deep saucers to "keep their feet wet." Then they began sprouting leaves like crazy! Supposedly cold tolerant from 25°F to 30°F, but mine suffered drastically with only a very light frost and lost all their leaves. I have them inside, hoping to once again revive them, but so far, after over three months, they show little promise. Many of the rhizomes appear dead, with a few still green, so I'm hoping a few rhizomes will pull through and leaf out once more. I won't trust them to even a chance of frost in the future. Perhaps the lower temperature tolerance applies to plants in the ground and not in pots. Live and learn. (Or is that "kill and learn"?) :(
