Proven Accents® Spikes Dracaena

Well known to northern gardeners as a fantastic annual that adds vertical and textural elements to mixed containers and planters, Spikes are a well-known plant in their own right. Introducing Proven Winners brand Proven Accents® Spikes Dracaena (Dracaena indivisa 'Spikes') that adds intrigue to your garden or porch pot as well as provides height and contrast!

Creating tall fountains of slender grass-like blades of dark green, these grow straight up from the top of the stem and then cascade and arch towards the bottom. Doubling as both upright thrillers and also graceful accents for the garden!

The spikey ends of the foliage mean careful handling but Dracaena are fantastic evergreen, tropical elements for containers and planters.

Heat tolerant, low maintenance plants, these are also known as the Mountain Cabbage Tree! Northern gardeners can bring these great plants indoors for the winter for an easy-care tropical houseplant.

How to Use Proven Accents® Spikes Dracaena In The Landscape

Ideal upright accent plants in mixed container plantings, rows of these along poolside or your seating areas add unique contrast and texture, plus a tropical feel when planted with other exotic plants!

Well known as a porch pot and patio planter thriller, Spikes are versatile and adaptable for balconies and container gardens for lending a tropical feel to any setting! Fantastic when used as a backdrop to smaller plants, or in the center of a planter as the central element.

At the end of the growing season, Spikes can be moved indoors for the winter. After many years of moving the plant in for the winter and back out again for the summer, it is possible to grow a unique specimen tree!

When older, these perennials can be used as specimen plants indoors or out. Perfect as high-profile focal points where they can strut their stuff in the sun!

#ProPlantTips For Care

This plant can be a perennial in zones 9-11 and reach 2-3 feet tall. In zones 3-8 it is an outdoor annual only, however you can bring this plant into your greenhouse, enclosed patio free from frost or even indoors as an exotic houseplant!

This unique and very hardy plant can be grown at any light level, tolerating both full sun to partial shade.

Dracaena Spikes fairly drought tolerant too! Once young plants are established, they require little water, however for best results be sure to water weekly when in full sun. Plant in any well-drained soil.

Feed bi-weekly if planted in a container with other plants. If your Dracaena spikes are in their own pot, feed it monthly with a balanced plant food while actively growing. We recommend using a houseplant fertilizer or Dr. Earth Exotic Blend Fertilizer for the best results.
