Dracaena suffruticosa is a drought-tolerant subshrub from eastern Africa with thick, spine-tipped rosette leaves on a short stem. It needs bright light and very sparse watering, since it thrives in dry, rocky conditions.
Dracaena suffruticosa, synonym Sansevieria suffruticosa is a species of Dracaena native to eastern Africa, from Ethiopia to Malawi. The first description of the species was made in 1915 by N. E. Brown.
