About this plant

Sansevieria trifasciata Black Diamond is one of the darkest snake plants you'll find. With broad, sword-shaped leaves in a deep, glossy green with just the faintest whisper of a paler edge tracing each one.

Chameleon qualities; they read as practically black in anything but bright light. Compact, upright and thoroughly unbothered by neglect, this is the snake plant for anyone after serious drama from a seriously low-effort houseplant.

Please note: some scarring may occur on the leaves.
