Pandanus baptissii - Dwarf Variegated

Whilst in Singapore, I noticed mass plantings of a dwarf variegated Pandanus, which I believe might be P. baptissii.
Does anyone know where I can purchase plants or seeds in Australia? I have tried most avenues here in W.A. ...
Thanks, Gail :)

Hi Gail,

I've often wondered about these myself - Rocky Council has some in the traffic island on the way to the airport, but you never see them in a nursery.

These folk list them in their price list - $28 for a 200m pot, but you seem to get a lot of plant for your money.

Very underutilised for such a spectacular species, at least from my observations.

Cheers,

Artie

Did you notice if the Pandan had spines on it ?
Equatorial Exotics has lots of this small variegated plant for sale .

Hi, I didn't see any spines at all.
I have followed up on Artie's link and have one put aside for me at Premier Palms, who said they are a bit damaged from the cold winter. We don't get frosts here on the coast, so I'm willing to give them a try.
Thanks aroideana :)
