Sansevieria stuckyi can form clustering series of short, distichous stems each bearing from one to several leaves, along the trailing rhizomes of the plant. Leaves are circular in cross-section, leathery, fleshy, dark and decorated with pale marbling. Plants grow to a height of approximately 2 metres depending on light and moisture availability. Inflorescences occur in spring or autumn, bearing fragrant, yellow-white flowers.
