(Dragon Tree, Song-of-India)
Dracaena reflexa is a tender evergreen shrub or small tree native to Madagascar and Mauritius. The shiny dark green leaves of the cultivar 'Anita' are narrowly lance-shaped, giving it a fine-textured elegance lacking in many dracaenas. They leaves spiral the upright stems from base to tip. Mature plants may bear large clusters of greenish-white flowers. Grow this plant as a multi-stemmed shrub or as a small tree pruned to a short trunk.
This handsome and durable plant does well in partial...

(Lucky Bamboo)
Lucky bamboo is not a bamboo but a Dracaena just like the popular houseplant called a corn plant. It is native to the rainforest of Cameroon in Africa and is an evergreen shrub with upright cane-like stems. The canes hold widely spaced, wavy, lance-shaped leaves with white strips and margins. Many cultivars have green leaves or other colors and patterns of variegation.
Dracaena sanderiana has been used as an interior foliage plant for decades, most often in combinations with other plants...
(Madagascar Jasmine)
Though rarely seen in cultivation, dregea has pretty clusters of starry, buttery yellow flowers. Thick, waxy, evergreen leaves cover this slow growing, scrambling, shrubby, vine all year around. It reigns from tropical southern Africa where it thrives in open, scrubby areas along the coast.
Each oblong, oval leaf is leathery, deep green and lightly fuzzy along the leaf veins. Like many tropical woody plants, it blooms all year around in the humid tropics, as long as conditions are favorable....
(Ice Plant)
This beautiful ground-hugging succulent from the Cape region of South Africa is an intense bloomer for frost-free gardens. Its prostrate, shrubby stems spread to form flowing, cascading mats of glistening, jellybean-shaped, bright green leaves. This little iceplant blooms heavily in late spring and early summer, enveloping itself in purple-pink daisy-like flowers with yellow eyes. Flowers open in the afternoon only, and may stay closed on cloudy cool days.
Like most succulent plants, this one...

(Liveforever)
A variable species grown for its geometric rosettes of evergreen leaves, this perennial succulent is native to Baja California. The fleshy, narrowly lance shaped, yellow-green leaves form broad rosettes that can reach the size of dinner plates. The leaves are sometimes dusted with a gray waxy bloom. Plants spread slowly into multi-rosette clumps, and may develop shrubby stems with age. Large open clusters of nodding, yellow or white, often pink-flushed flowers perch on tall stems in spring. The blooms...

(Bright Green Dudleya, Liveforever)
A perennial succulent from California and northwestern Mexico, this variable species is known in gardens primarily by its subspecies hassei. Its evergreen rosettes of narrowly to broadly lance-shaped leaves are green or gray. Some forms of the species sucker rapidly, forming large clumps of rosettes. Older rosettes develop stems, giving plants a shrubby appearance. Open clusters of starry white, yellowish, or pink flowers perch on erect stems in spring. The fragrant blooms attract hummingbirds...
