A close relative of the spider plant, Chlorophytum comosum, Chlorophytum saundersiae bears the same starry white flowers on long stems and long, grass-like foliage. However, this African native is tougher and can be grown outdoors all year.
Chlorophytum saundersiae 'Starlight' is a variegated cultivar with cream leaves and deep green margins. In the summer months it produces sprays of white flowers that give plants a light, airy appearance.
For best results grow Chlorophytum saundersiae 'Starlight' in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or dappled shade. Congested clumps can be divided in spring to produce new plants.
