Multi colored ribbon like leaves are striped with a cream center between green with rosy red margins. An excellent landscape variety from Mauritius. Leaves are shiny and bright green. These dracenas are formal plants with a symmetrical arrangement of leaves. They are evergreen plants. They have thick and erect stem. These are often branched when plants are grown in the ground. Leaves are long, pointed, without a leaf stalk and leathery. Plants are favourites for landscape and interior use as they perform to the expectations.
