Dracaena fragrans 'Lemon Lime' is a cultivar of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. It is a slow growing shrub, usually multistemmed at the base. The leaves are glossy green, lanceolate; small leaves are erect to spreading, and larger leaves usually drooping under their weight. This cultivar has vibrant, fresh foliage with bright green, yellow and white leaves. It is wide spreading, with delightfully long, arching, lance-shaped leaves arranged around a central stem. Leaves are predominantly a lemon-lime background colour, sometimes tending towards yellow, with a central stripe of darker green edged in white. 
The species name refers to the fragrant flowers, while the English name derives from a perceived resemblance of the stem to a corn (Zea mays) stalk.
The name dracaena is derived from the romanized form of the Ancient Greek δράκαινα – drakaina, "female dragon".
