Snake Plant 'Moonshine' (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine'): A Silvery, Broad-Leaved Bird's Nest Cultivar

Snake Plant 'Moonshine' (also called 'Moonglow') is a striking cultivar with broad, silvery-gray to pale green leaves that lack the typical dark banding, forming an elegant, vase-shaped rosette. It grows 1–2 feet tall. The leaves are thick and succulent. A modern, architectural selection that brightens low-light corners. As tough as the species—nearly indestructible.
