The Song of India (Dracaena reflexa) is an architectural foliage plant that brings vibrant geometry into both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its most striking feature is its whorled clusters of lance-shaped leaves, boldly striped in green and creamy yellow, which create a layered, almost sculptural effect. Native to Madagascar and nearby Indian Ocean islands, it thrives in tropical and subtropical environments, where its branching stems and dense leaf patterns lend it the appearance of a small, decorative tree.
Also known as Pleomele, this plant has long been admired not just for its ornamental qualities but also for its symbolic associations with prosperity, resilience, and vitality. Its tiered growth habit and rhythmic arrangement of leaves make it particularly suited to modern interiors where structure and color are equally valued. A versatile presence, the Song of India exemplifies how natural form can be elevated into living design, both decorative and enduring.
Song of India has a typical overall height between 2’-6’ (61-183 cm) and spread diameter of 2’-4’ (61-122 cm).
