Cordyline Australis
My Cordyline has produced a massive 3ft x 3ft flower on a very large new stem. It is spectacular but what after effect is this likely to have on the plant. Should I cut it off before it seeds?

I would enjoy the flowers while they are in bloom and cut them off after they have withered.
Your cordy will take on a broader shape but should still look attractive. Good Luck. Tbird+
