Red Dragon Plant is an unusual herbaceous plant, grown for its foliage rather than flowers. Each leaf is sharply pointed, with maroon and green patterning and a pale white margin. It quickly develops into a handsome, upright clump. It is tolerant of a range of soils and happily grows in sun or partial shade. To make the most of its foliage, grow alongside contrasting foliage plants such as silver-leaved plectranthus or golden leaved grasses. Red Dragon Plant also looks good in jungle planting schemes, where it makes the perfect partner to cannas, bamboos and bananas.
