PLANT PROFILE

Dracaena draco, known as the Dragon Tree, is a captivating and iconic plant treasured for its unique, umbrella-like branching and striking blue-green, succulent leaves. Native to the Canary Islands, this evergreen tree grows to a mature height of 6–9 meters and spreads 3–4 meters wide, making it a bold focal point in tropical and subtropical gardens or bright indoor spaces.

Its architectural form and rare flowering—small white or green flowers appearing on mature specimens—add to its charm and mystique. The red sap, famously called 'dragon’s blood,' further enhances its allure and historical significance. Dragon Tree thrives in full sun to partial shade, tolerates drought and salt spray, and demands minimal maintenance, requiring only occasional removal of old leaves.

Perfect as a feature plant or statement tree, Dracaena draco looks excellent when you want to create an exotic, sculptural vibe that feels timeless and adventurous—adding character and intrigue to any garden or indoor collection.
