Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Wow! When we first saw this plant we were immediately impressed with its spectacular color. The leaves truly look like "golden flames" , tall and pointed with a rich golden hue. There are some dark green highlights in the centers of the leaves and on the older leaves. Like all sansevierias, it's an indestructible houseplant that only needs watering a couple of times a month. Grow in full to partial sun.
