Notes
'Moonshine' snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata 'Moonshine') is a succulent for containers, specimen use, 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 full sun to full shade and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its broad leaves are pale grey-green, and it stays shorter than most varieties. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Silver squill, Blanket flower, and Bougainvillea.
