Purpurea \" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/cordyp\/cordyline-australis-purpureum.html\">Cordyline Australis Purpurea<\/a>\u00a0is a much more desirable, yet tenderer plant.\u00a0 Slower growing than the green form, it can be pot grown for a number of years making a useful patio plant.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_648\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

plant with canes to about 2m height with boldly striped green and white leaves. \u00a0It is best cut down to ground level in early Spring as the canes become leggy.\u00a0 This encourages new shoots, making a much more attractive specimen.\u00a0 Both this and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/cordy\/cordyline-australis.html\"><strong>Cordyline Australis<\/strong><\/a> require a nice, warmer position in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>Preferring dappled shade the Rice Paper Plant \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/ttp\/tetrapanax-papyrifer.html\">Tetrapanax Papyrifera<\/a>\u2019 will grow in less sheltered gardens, but performs best in warmer ones retaining its growing point.\u00a0 The huge downy star shaped leaves are over 2ft across creating a very jungly effect.\u00a0 The variety Tetrapanax Papyrifera Rex\u00a0has even larger, more deeply incised foliage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_649\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption

tender.\u00a0 It is preferable to Musa Basjoo in that the leaves are of a thicker texture making them less prone to wind damage and have attractive maroonish banding. \u00a0It is probably advisable to wrap the trunk with straw or hessian even in town gardens in bad winters.<\/p>\n<p>Most people are familiar with the Chusan Palm or common fan palm <a title=\"Trachycarpus Fortunei\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplants.co.uk\/plant\/trachy\/trachycarpus-fortunei.html\">Trachycarpus Fortunei<\/a>, the hardiest of all the palms.\u00a0 A similar looking palm, but with larger less divided leaves and a more tropical appearance, is Livistona Chinensis.\u00a0 Slower growing, it will not develop a tall trunk.\u00a0 Livistona Chinensis will tolerate down to -5c and so should do well
