Beautiful fan-shaped Sansevieria with a lot more cold hardiness than it's given credit for... growing outdoors in Southern California with no obvious problems... we had a hard freeze this last year, and though one nearby Sansevieria rotted, most did not, and this one was no exception... not even a hint of cold damage into the mid 20s for nearly 1/4 day. Has doubled into several fans in 2 years and is doing well in well-draining soil

Regional...
