Dracaena fragrans 'Burley' – Corn Plant with Bold Central Stripe

Dracaena fragrans 'Burley' is a cultivar of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl., prized for its strong, contrasting foliage. This slow-growing shrub is often multi-stemmed at the base, producing cane-like stems topped with rosettes of broad, arching leaves. The foliage is deep glossy green, dramatically highlighted by a central stripe of bright yellow-green, giving the plant a vibrant, tropical look. With age, the lower leaves naturally drop away, revealing ringed trunks and a tree-like silhouette.

Why Dracaena 'Burley' Stands Out

  • Foliage: Wide, arching leaves with a bold, light-green to yellow central stripe.
  • Growth Habit: Multi-stemmed cane plant, maturing into a tree-like form.
  • Size: Indoors commonly 1 – 1.5 m tall; can grow taller in conservatories.
  • Decorative Value: Brings a strong color accent to homes and offices.

Natural Background

Dracaena fragrans is native to tropical Africa, where it grows as a small understory tree. In cultivation it is often called the “corn plant” for its resemblance to maize (Zea mays) stalks. Cultivars such as 'Burley' were bred for their striking foliage patterns and adaptability, making them long-lived favorites for indoor planting schemes.

Care Guide for Dracaena 'Burley'

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; adapts to moderate conditions but the central stripe is strongest with more light.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil have dried; avoid overwatering.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.
  • Temperature: Ideal range is 18 – 27 °C; protect from prolonged cold below 12 °C.
  • Humidity: Tolerates normal indoor humidity but benefits from occasional misting.
  • Fertilizer: Apply diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • Leaf Browning: Can result from dry air, inconsistent watering, or fluoride sensitivity.
  • Natural Shedding: Lower leaves yellow and fall as the plant matures, exposing canes.
  • Pests: May attract spider mites or scale if kept in poor conditions.
  • Toxicity: Like other Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.

Why Choose Dracaena 'Burley'

Dracaena 'Burley' offers the toughness and longevity of classic corn plants with a bold, striped foliage pattern. Its broad leaves and bright midline create strong visual impact, making it a favorite for design-conscious interiors, offices, and long-term indoor landscaping projects.

Etymology

The genus name Dracaena comes from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” in reference to the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some members of the group. The species epithet fragrans refers to the highly scented flowers occasionally produced on mature plants.

Great non-toxic sunscreen option!!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very happy with the ingredients in this sunscreen! I feel great about putting it on my skin. Just know it leaves a pretty noticeable white sheen when you wear it. I've noticed that a lot with natural sunscreens but it's worth it!

Very heave texture.
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The texture is very heavy and greasy, and it leaves a white cast that takes quite a while to disappear. It’s probably fine for the body during beach days, but not for daily use — especially not on the face.

I bought this SPF because it was on the EWG site. We used this for a southern carribbean cruise. I am very pleased! No sunburn but got a great tan. Easy to apply. Highly recommend!

Works well even in water.
Was able to apply and use for hours even in water without reapplying. Usually burn but not with this. It does go on white and very thick but runs in.
