Early last year I got a couple of "spike plants" from Lowe's. I believe they had the scientific name on the label but I threw it away a long time ago. I tried to google spike plant but a whole bunch of things pop up. These weren't that cold hardy during this last cold snap (we had got down to 18 degrees) but they seem to be coming back. I completely cut them to the ground and now they seem to be pushing out small babies. Anyone know what these are?20220913_170842.thumb.jpg.cc8de69628b2156e06a911d7a99e6fe8.jpg20220913_170907.thumb.jpg.58a6110c84776968c970ea99800e4997.jpg20230227_160408.thumb.jpg.49125af71aff79764ea021bcc8adaea0.jpg20230227_160414.thumb.jpg.28cafee72a5069e8c79587d03c345c77.jpg

Cordyline australis.  The "green spikes" are usually labelled Dracaena which is incorrect.

Alright. That would explain why it got completely destroyed from the 18 degrees we had. At least it is coming back though.
