A highly ornamental, dwarf form of Pandanus that generally grows to only about 0.5 m. It has attractive, long, narrow grass-like leaves edged with clear yellow. and will form a dense cover. It requires very little maintenance. Its one drawback is that the leaf edges have sharp prickles, so it should not be planted close to paths and walkways. To develop full foliage colouration, it should be planted in full-sun; in shady locations the leaves may revert to all green. It is easily propagated by lifting and dividing clumps.
