Sansevieria trifasciata 'Dwarf Moonshine'



I originally grew this as 'Hahnii Silver' but it isd clearly not the same plant recorded by Chahinian as 'Silver Hahnii' and patented by Sylvan Hahn in 1952 (USPP 1,220).
A dwarf silver plant, smaller than 'Moonshine' but not as small as the green leaved 'Hahnii'. It is being distributed as 'Dwarf Moonshine' and I haven't found a better name.

Cafe Planta say:

"If space is at a premium but you're still keen on adding a Moonshine Snake Plant to your collection, consider the dwarf variety.
This variety retains the beautiful silver-green leaves of the classic Moonshine but in a smaller, more manageable size."
