Dracaena Draco – Dragon Tree

What a statement piece for your garden! The Dragon Tree is a stunner from every angle.

This is a slow-growing, sub-tropical tree-like plant with a single scaly stem and blue-green spiky foliage. After 10-15 years he’ll produce a single flower spike with coral berries and start branching out to eventually form an umbrella-like habit.  

It’s a long journey but there’s something very satisfying about growing alongside a plant – it’s not all about instant appeal and colour. A dragon tree will become your friend and see you through the years.

Even when young a dragon tree makes a fantastic feature plant around pools and in pots. Give him free-draining soil and plenty of sunshine to make sure he performs his best.

Quick Facts:

• What to use me for: I make a statement in your border and glam up a container by the pool or patio. Children and fans of the ‘slow movement’ will love growing up with me.
• I grow to: I’ll reach 5 metres over 10-20 years.
• Where to place me: I like sun to partial shade.
• How far to space me:  Give me five metres of elbow room.
• Soil Conditions: Well-drained soil please, I don’t like a soggy bottom.
