Moonshine Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata ‘Moonshine’, formerly Sansevieria) is a striking succulent houseplant with broad, silvery-green, paddle-shaped leaves nearly free of the typical snake plant banding — an easy-care architectural accent for bright indoor spaces or a shaded patio.
At Flying Rabbit Farm, our Moonshine Snake Plant divisions are grown for wide, uniform leaf color and steady growth suited to Austin indoor and patio containers.
