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.

Instructions could be clearer, but assembles well and is sturdy
Size: 3 Panel-102"W, Color: Black
The only reason for the lack of a star is the iffy instructions. There are a few different washers and the instructions could make the difference a LOT easier to understand and thereby reduce the need to re-do things. Other than that, the panels were easy to assemble and the parts fit well together. I was able to disassemble the screens and store them for a future use, which is nice. One caution - the feet that make the panels stand up will likely be a trip hazard, so be sure to plan the location for this device carefully.

Awesome product!!!
Size: 3 Panel-102"W, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102"W, Color: Beige
This thing is really awesome. I actually bought 2 of them and made myself a nice little enclosure to keep out any peeping Toms while I’m trying to work on my summer tan. What I was looking for is FULL privacy and this DEFINITELY provides that. Fabric is completely opaque, you cannot see anything through it which is exactly what I needed. Another huge bonus is the strips of fabric to cover the spaces in between the panels, giving TRUE privacy. This is a really well-made product, great design, great structure, and pretty easy to put together overall. The only downside is that with strong gusts of wind, it wants to tip over so as you can see I secured the bottom feet with a couple bricks to make it stable and that did the trick. But to me that is a minor inconvenience given all its other great aspects. So many other privacy dividers were still see-through… totally defeating the purpose. But this one is absolutely full privacy and PERFECT for what I needed it for!!!

Broke within an hour of assembly.
Size: 6 Panel-120"W, Color: Beige
This is of horrible quality. Within an hour of building, the feet support were broken on both ends, where they spin in place & do not stay straight to hold the divider up. Pieces of the plastic on the feet were broken simply from assembling the product. The covers for the metal poles were the only reason I bought this divider instead of other similar products, however those only cover one side of the metal poles so they are still visible from the other side. Two of these covers were also torn & not useable within an hour of assembly, one was already partially ripped on arrival & the other one was ripped simply during assembly of the product. I do not recommend this item & would have returned if I was still in the return window. I missed the return window because the product was bought during the holidays & I didn’t have time to mess with the return. I have not been able to use this product even once, the broken feet which do not stay in place make it very unstable & dangerous.
