This variety is even further marked out by the stunning red edgealong its leaves, a subtle variegation which adds more interest to the plant. The genus name 'Dracaena', dragon, actually refers to the colour of this plant's sap, but given the fierce appearance of the leaves, it is doubly appropriate.
