Dracaena Draco Seeds produce a slow-growing perennial tree commonly known in the United States as dragon tree. Plants develop upright, thick stems with umbrella-like branching and long, sword-shaped leaves. This tree thrives in full sun with well-drained rocky or sandy soil and is suitable for home gardens, xeriscaping, or container cultivation in subtropical to arid climates. Moderate watering and well-drained soil support healthy long-term growth.
