Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Also known as the Beaver Tail Sansevieria. HUGE, wide leaves with great dark and light green mottling and red margins. This is an outstanding candidate for pot culture. Looks best in part shade. Definitely would make a noticeable statement in any collection.
A giant among the tough Mother-In-Law's Tongues the leaves are up to 10" wide and reach 30" high! An unusual variety, great as a conversation piece. As tough and durable as any of the other Sansevierias preferring the same well-drained soils.
