Dracaena draco is a slow-growing evergreen tree featuring sword-shaped, blue-green foliage clustered in terminal rosettes and small, fragrant, greenish-white or lily-like flowers. It produces fleshy, coral-red to orange berries. Starts as a single-stemmed rosette, branching out umbrella-style only after flowering. Bark is smooth and gray when young, evolving into a rough texture with age. When cut, it exudes a reddish resin known as Dragon’s Blood. Used as a focal point or accent tree. Excellent in seacoast landscapes. Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade. It prefers well-draining, fertile soil but is highly salt tolerant. Low to moderate water use; drought-tolerant once established. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
