Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sansevieria ‘Black Coral’ is a unique variety of Snake Plant with upright, succulent, sword-shaped foliage. The amazing, tough green leaves are covered in wavy, horizontal stripes of light grey green. Forms upright clumps that max out around 3’ tall. Small, pale green flowers may emerge in Spring, although this rarely occurs. Retail and commercial spaces love Snake Plants, because they are low maintenance and easy to care for. Snake Plants prefer a well-drained soil with infrequent watering. If your plant is in a lower light situation, hold off on watering even longer. These plants are very tough and adaptable, but will thrive in medium to bright, indirect light. Plant in containers, rock gardens, Mediterranean gardens or bring them inside to grace your home.
