    Mine has flowered a few times.  I have to cut the leaves down every few years because they get in the way when more than 2/3 feet high. I wait until they flower then cut the leaves off down to the stump.  New plants grow out of the stump and grow for a few years, then flower.
  • Ours has flowered for the first time this year too ... and it smells amazing! 😊

    It seems to be a big year for Cordyline flowers. Mine flowers every year, but they're very popular around here and I've noticed that every last one, even quite small ones, seem to be flowering. I generally smell them before I see them.

    First time I've ever seen it flower and it's about 10 years old.
    Maybe I've missed it, but don't think so.

    I wonder if that's the new smell I can smell!?
  • Yes, it probably is what you can smell @RoddersUK ... and we have live here for 15 years and it has never flowered before.

    Well if it’s happening, hope my
    one flowers too, has never done so before.

    Ours is flowering this year to. It is about 12 foot tall and this is the first time it's flowered since its grown back to that size (it died off to the ground in the really cold winter about a decade ago).
