Green Sensation is a named selection of Cordyline australis with an upright, palm-like form. Species-level guidance describes evergreen sword-shaped foliage and fragrant, cream-colored flower panicles on mature plants; cultivar-specific size and foliage-color details were not established in the sources reviewed.
## Form and placement
The [Royal Horticultural Society profile for Cordyline australis](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/4361/cordyline-australis/details) gives a broad mature species range of about 4–8 metres tall and 2.5–4 metres wide. It recommends a sunny or partly shaded position in well-drained soil. Because those figures describe the species, use them as general context rather than a precise forecast for this named selection.
## Seasonal interest
Mature plants can produce tall panicles of fragrant, cream flowers above the foliage. Evergreen leaves preserve the plant’s architectural outline through the year. The [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/cordyline/growing-guide) notes that winter protection can be useful in colder locations.
## Maintenance
Give the plant space for its upright trunk and crown, and avoid waterlogged soil. Remove dead leaves as needed and protect young plants in exposed cold sites.
