8″ Sansevieria Fernwood Mikado

Fernwood Mikado is a good looking hybrid developed by famed plant breeder Rogers Weld at famed Fernwood Nursery in California. A pot filled with tall whips, thin and rounded, but with deeply cupped edges, stand tall and straight but sometimes sway out to the side a bit (some rugged individuals just go off completely sideways when they want to be alone) but still so straight. You can expect at least 2′ of height but 6′ is possible they say. You must be open to anything. The leaves are darkest, deepest green with loosely formed pale green/grey smoke rings floating up the stems. Those leaf tips look all poky but are really sort of softy. Like most Sansevierias Fernwood grows in rosette clumps not readily seen in a potfull but that just makes it easy to separate and make new Fernwoods.
