It should be noted that although Southern Splendor and Electric Pink look similar when very young, Southern Splendor grows up on a single...Read More stalk with a plume of pink striped leaves shooting out from the top of the stalk. Electric Pink does have a more intense pink color but only grows leaves from the ground up, without a stalk. Electric Pink shoots new leaves from division on the ground level, never growing a stalk. It looks more like the growth habit of a flax/phormium plant. Different appearances for different garden design purposes.
