Dracaena reflexa ‘Variegata’ (Song of India)

Slow-growing, Dracaena reflexa ‘Variegata’ (Song of India) is an upright, evergreen shrub with reflexed, sword-shaped, deep green leaves broadly margined creamy-white. They are spirally arranged in whorls on the stem and tufted at the branch ends. Blooming periodically throughout the year, tiny white flowers are on display and may give way to orange-red berries. On indoor plants, flowers and berries rarely appear. Colorful, this succulent shrub is commonly used as a houseplant as it tolerates interior conditions very well. Easy to grow, it is a wonderful plant to brighten up the home.
