    I bought this plant today. It's about a foot and a half tall. It had a tall bloom on it. The color was almost purple. The bloom came out from 1 stem and was about five branches of small blooms. Thanks!

    Leaf shape might be that of Cordyline fruticosa, there is the remains of a cut off flower spike near the top which could help indicate what it is.

    I agree with Cordyline, and if its new foliage is dark purple, it may even be C. stricta but more than likely what Ron stated.

    i didn't quite think it was a drac...

    i have to investigate cordyline. it's not something i'm familiar with and the purple reference has peaked my interest!! ;)
