Plant Description

Dracaena aletriformis is a fairly hardy, evergreen, shade loving, Yucca-like accent plant with large, elongated, leathery strap-like leaves with translucent edges that glow with the sun behind them. The creamy-white, sweet smelling flowers that are followed by sticky, yellow fruits attract birds.

Dracaena aletriformis grows in deep shade and makes a good indoor plant.
