Sansevieria Kirkii Bhitalae 'Superclone' Dragon King

Sansevieria bhitalae 'Superclone' is a tall robust Snakeplant with a typical clump having 3 to 4 vertically inclined blue-gray colored leaves that can reach 4 to 6 feet tall and have a slightly wavy brown edge. Though not inclined to flower with any regularity, the individual lightly fragrant white flowers are over 6 inches long in a cluster that can be a foot wide atop a 2-foot-long inflorescence.

Will tolerate low light levels but grows best and flowers if given bright light and even tolerates full sun. Hardy to 30-32° F. Water sparingly and not at all as temperatures dip in winter, particularly if growing outdoors - can tolerate going months between watering and if grown outdoors in California but does need to be kept under an eave or some other protection from winter rainfall and cold. 

This plant has been sold under the name Sansevieria kirkii 'Superclone' since 1981 after first being named this by the late Dave Grigsby of Grigsby Cactus Garden (Sansevieria kirkii var. kirkii - Superclone #81-071). The plant was originally acquired from the Heidelberg Botanic Garden and was originally collected by Peter Bally in Kenya, Uganda. It looks superficially like Sansevieria kirkii but the color is grayer and the long thicker leaves are more stiffly upright. The name Sansevieria kirkii var. kirkii 'Superclone' or just Sansevieria 'Superclone' was used for this plant for 37 years and likely will be referred as this for years to come.
