Kewra

Kewra is the common name for the fragrant Pandanus (screw pine), a rosette-forming plant with long, narrow, strap-like leaves arching outward from a central growing point, often with finely serrated or spiny margins. It is traditionally grown for its intensely perfumed flower spikes, historically used to produce kewra water and attar in South Asian cuisine and perfumery. The plant has a bold, architectural silhouette that works well as a textural accent in open outdoor beds or large courtyard pots.
