Full sun-light shade. Palm-like, sub-tropical tree that grows with an upright habit and with age will branch to produce several heads of green strap leaves that have a strong cream variegation along the leaf margin. 10- 20’ tall x 5-10’ wide. Produces large panicles of small, sweet-scented flowers in late spring to summer. Useful in dry gardens but also offers a tropical look. It can tolerate coastal conditions if protected from direct sea winds.
