Pandanus pedunculatus (Screw Pine) 200mm
$20.00
Bold and architectural, Pandanus pedunculatus is a striking tropical plant prized for its spiralling, sword-like leaves and distinctive prop roots. Perfect for creating a dramatic feature in gardens, coastal landscapes, or large containers, it thrives in sunny, well-draining positions and tolerates wind, salt spray, and heat better than many other plants. Over time, it develops its characteristic stilt-like roots, adding sculptural interest and stability. Please note: leaf edges are sharp, so place away from high-traffic areas.
