Notes

'Tricolor' dragon tree (Dracaena concinna 'Tricolor') is a shrub for containers, borders, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist soil of most types. Its arching leaves show gold, green, pink, and white, and it grows slowly.

Pairs well with Angel wings, Coralbells, and Mondo grass.
