plantings couple blocks down on our street

The Dutch like their Sanseveria & use it on windowsills as a privacy screen.

I did not know that Green_finger. Good idea though.

Sanseveria looks good against a wall, also. It's widely used that way here. I have mine planted against a wall in my front yard.

I have seen it planted along the wall here on numerous occasions.

Its marginal here. I dig the lava rock planters.
I miss my old pickup. I used to buy a yard of gravel,compost or big lava boulders. Now? With a car that gets high gas mileage that does me no good when I need a load of manure.

Oh no Stan, we all need an old pickup. We cannot live without it :-)

Stan,

I've seen nice specimens of Sansevieria growing in the Bay Area. It's a hardy plant. It even grows in Central Valley (in semi-shade, of course).
