    Hi,
    This plant was already in my garden when i moved into my house 3 yeas ago, it has grown on lovely. I know this may be a silly question, but is it a Cordyline or a Phormium? Also, for future reference, how can i distinguish between the two??

    Phormium.

    Cordyline developes a stem; phormiums don't.
