One of the worst growing Ti's for SoCal - and I have many. I have spent years trying to get the ones I had looking good. They get beat up every winter, and they are hard to keep from brown-tipping in summer. Weak cultivar for SoCal in my opinion.

Red Sister's foliage varies from deep green to light green to hot pink--all on the same leaf. Really beautiful, but the leaves do look a little thrashed in the winter here in S. California when grown outside in the ground. The new leaves coming out in spring and summer look perfect until winter time. It's well worth having if you like the tropical look.

The Ti Plant (Cordyline Terminalis) is also called "Red Sister" here on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Just bought two yesterday and they are beautiful!
