Behold the New King of the Marginata - Dracaena Tarzan

Dracaenas are woody plants with species that are recognized by many as great houseplants, perfect choices for indoor environments, and excellent landscaping plants.  One popular dracaena species is the Marginata.  It has various cultivars that are loved by collectors, landscapers, and gardeners because of their colorful foliage.  One cultivar of Dracaena marginata is the Dracaena Tarzan or simply Tarzan.

The upright growth habit of Tarzan is very much similar to Marginata.  But compared to Marginata, it has longer and wider leaves.  These fleshy leaves are held much better than Marginata.  Each glossy leaf is rich green in color with deep purple colored margins.  Tarzan has slender stems that mature into woody trunks.

Dracaena Tarzan grows well in lower light.  Its durability makes it capable for many growers to have Tarzan in many forms – shrub or tree.  It is pest-resistant and drought tolerant.  This plant thrives well indoors and/or outdoors especially in areas or landscapes with full sun or shade.
