Sansevieria zeylanica

This resilient plant can resist drought, adjust to decreased light levels, and absorb harmful toxins like benzene and formaldehyde from the air. Sansevieria is absolutely bomb-proof and is the perfect plant for busy or uninformed gardeners. Sansevieria zeylanica has stunning, reptilian-like leaves that are ruffled with dark green stripes on a light, silvery background. With its upright, sword-like leaves standing sentinel, Sansevieria has a straightforward shape that blends nicely with contemporary decor. Maximum height: 1.2m (47in). Maximum spread: 50cm (20in). Plant spread and height vary with the seasons, so we list by container size rather than a specific plant size. Seasonal variations will affect the plant's height and spread, so arrival images should only be used as a guide.
