They struggle with wet conditions Irma - a combination of wet and cold isn't ideal for them. They're not fully hardy everywhere in Britain - ok in sheltered urban areas, and mainly in the south, although some coastal areas in the west and south have a micro climate which means they can grow happily enough - the soil is often more suitable in those areas too - sandier and free draining.
It would depend on what your temps normally get to in winter. Long periods of sub zero temps aren't good either, so they'd need some protection if you get those sorts of conditions.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

We live in Denver, Co - will the Cordyline make it thru the winter? What do we need to do, cover it, trim it down or what?
