Name That Plant!

Unknown plants! Any Ideas?

14 years ago

Yesterday afternoon I drove my mom over to the local produce stand and noticed a sign that said Plant sale: Free. So I immediately got out of the car and asked the sales lady what plants where free. She told me everything outside and inside of the greenhouse. Well, needless to say I was really excited, and I came home with some really nice perennials for my flower bed and a few indoor plants as well. However, most of the plants did not have name tags. I have since found the names of the other plants but there are two I have not been unable to identify. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it!

Plant A.

I believe plant B is armeria, but which species, I'm not sure. My A. maritima has more "grassy"like leaves, so I don't think it's that one.

1. May be Cordyline australis.

Your first plant looks like a sedge to me. Whether it is or not, though, I would keep it in a large pot, or at least watch it carefully, until I found out if it was a clumper or a creeper.

Number one could be a dracaena spike, or a Dracaena indivisa.

Thank you everyone for the help! I believe Plant A is indeed a dracaena spike, but I am going to keep it potted just to be on the safe side. :-) Mytime, I believe you are right about plant B. It looks like an Armeria Alba. Thanks again to all of you for the help!
