Shop Dracaena Marginata (Dragon Tree) – 2 Stems

Appearance Leaves: Long, narrow, arching leaves with red or purple edges (hence the name “marginata”). Stems: Woody, slender stems that can branch out as the plant matures. Height: Indoors, it typically grows 4–6 feet tall, but outdoors in tropical climates, it can reach 15 feet or more.
