Notes

'Variegata' dragon tree (Dracaena concinna 'Variegata') is a shrub for containers, specimens, and accents. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full shade and dry to average, loamy soil. Its arching leaves show gold, green, pink, and white. It grows slowly and stays evergreen, and white flowers open in early to late spring.

Pairs well with Golden pothos, Emerald Vase Boston fern, Prayer plant, and Blue star fern.
