The dragon tree of Madagascar
The Dracaena Marginata grows slowly, forming graphic trunks that curve toward the light. Every scar on the bark tells of a fallen leaf.
Its tolerance of drought and medium light makes it a pillar of contemporary interiors. It purifies the air while drawing an architectural silhouette.
"The dragon tree is never in a hurry, and that is all its charm."
