Please help identify these plants

Hi,

Can anybody help identify the plants in this garden.  I really like this.

Hi @dant,

Thank you for your post requesting assistance identifying plants. I'll answer to the best of my ability moving left to right.

The white flowering bush is a Euphorbia Leucocephala (Snowflake). In some areas, their sale is restricted as their sap is an irritant. There is some info about them here Snowflake (Euphorbia leucocephala).

This small grass plant just in front of the Snowflake looks like either Mondo Grass or a variety of Liriope Muscari.

There are two plants here, the one at the front is a variety of Cordyline Fruticosa. The large plant at the back is a Heliconia Bihai.

This is a Philodendron Xanadu.

This is also a variety of Cordyline Fruticosa.
  

I believe this is a Codiaeum Variegatum (Croton).
 

I believe this is a Tradescantia Spathacea (Boat Lily)

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Jacob

Hi the red plant to me looks like a coralline T1 variety as I have a couple myself and know their hard to fine in stores. The green one next to it looks to be just a different colouring of it. I also have them in red and black too. Hope this helps.

Hi @kjilott,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

On review, I think you are absolutely correct, the smaller Cordyline on the left may even be one in an earlier stage of development.

Some common names include Ti Plant, Cabbage Tree and Hawaiian Good Luck Plant.

As our plant suppliers are regional, if you would like to purchase these plants, I'd suggest contacting your local store during the week and asking to speak to their Horticultural Expert. They will have contacts with local nurseries who they can speak to about the availability of these plants.

Thank you for jumping in on the conversation, you've been a great help.

Quick follow up - would most of these plants be suitable near a pool and in sun pretty much most of the day?

TIA

Hi @dant,

The Codiaeum Variegatum, Cordyline Ti, Liriope Muscari/Mondo grass and the Euphorbia Leucocephala are good in full sun.

The Tradescantia Spathacea and Philodendron Xanadu are better if they are protected from the afternoon sun.

Using them all together in the way they have done in your example, will have them create shade for one another, so it should be fine in a sunny spot.

You shouldn't have too many issues with them being around a pool, but I'd try to keep the bomb dives to a minimum. They won't like the chlorine or salt water very much.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
