THE PLANT SOCIETY Dragon Tree (Dracaena Marginata) Easy Care Plants

Dragon Tree (Dracaena marginata)

Dracaena marginata, also known as dragon tree, is an attractive, stiff-leaved plant with green sword-like leaves edged with red. The plant has narrow, slender gray stems that are topped with shiny, arching leaves that are sword-shaped. In the spring on the outdoor varieties, fragrant tiny white flowers bloom and are followed by circular yellow-orange berries. On indoor plants, flowers and berries rarely appear. These plants are perfect for a beginner gardener because they’re very easy to grow indoors.
