Notes
'Black Robusta' snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Black Robusta') is a succulent for containers, specimen planting, and indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Dark grey-green horizontal stripes mark the upright leaves, and it is among the darkest types available.
