Janet Craig (Dracaena deremensis) is a tropical shrub of the Dracaena genus. It is commonly grown as an indoor houseplant. It grows as an 8 to 12 feet unbranched rosette of evergreen leaves, though some cultivars are variegated in a white to grey-green color.

When chilled, 'Janet Craig' produces strongly fragrant white flowers on stalks 10-12 inches in length. Flowering is rare when kept indoors. The Dracaena family makes up an important group of plants used to decorate, scrub the air and make "green" homes, offices, malls, apartments and the landscape around the world. Dracaenas can be used in almost any interior.
