Dracaena reflexa 'Bicolor' – Elegant Red-Edged Dracaena with Green and Yellow Stripes

Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia 'Bicolor', widely recognized under its synonym Dracaena marginata, is a refined cultivar admired for its layered color pattern. It develops slender, woody stems that rise bare with age, crowned by tufts of long, narrow leaves. The foliage is deep green at the center, bordered by ivory-yellow bands and finished with a fine edge of bordeaux red. Over time, the plant matures into a snaking, tree-like form that adds elegance and color contrast to modern interiors.

Why Dracaena 'Bicolor' Stands Out

  • Color Pattern: Emerald green centers, framed by creamy yellow stripes and edged in dark red.
  • Growth Style: Upright stems that branch slowly, developing a tree-like silhouette.
  • Size Potential: Indoors often 1.5 – 2 m tall, taller in conservatory settings.
  • Interior Impact: Combines bold color accents with a graceful architectural form.

Origin and Related Cultivars

The species Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia is native to Madagascar and other Indian Ocean islands. Cultivars such as 'Bicolor', 'Red', and 'Colorama' were developed in horticulture for their foliage coloration. Among these, 'Bicolor' is noted for its three-tone striping – darker and more refined than the broader pink of 'Colorama' and more variegated than the solid-edged 'Red'.

Care Guide for Dracaena 'Bicolor'

  • Light: Bright, indirect light enhances color; tolerates lower light but stripes may fade.
  • Watering: Water moderately, letting the topsoil dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
  • Soil: Prefers a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.
  • Temperature: Keep between 18 – 27 °C; protect from cold drafts.
  • Humidity: Adapts to typical indoor humidity; occasional misting supports leaf health.
  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with diluted liquid feed.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • Leaf Drop: Older leaves naturally shed from the base, exposing the trunk.
  • Color Fading: Low light reduces contrast between yellow and green bands.
  • Pests: May attract scale or spider mites if stressed.
  • Toxicity: Like most Dracaena, toxic to pets if ingested.

Why Collectors Value Dracaena 'Bicolor'

Among marginata cultivars, Dracaena 'Bicolor' is admired for its balance of subtlety and color. Its green, cream, and red striping makes it more intricate than the solid 'Red' cultivar but less flamboyant than 'Colorama'. This balance gives it versatility for both minimalist interiors and mixed tropical displays.

Etymology

The genus name Dracaena comes from the Ancient Greek δράκαινα (drakaina), meaning “female dragon,” a reference to the red resin (“dragon’s blood”) produced by some species in the group.

Add Dracaena 'Bicolor' to Your Collection

An Obscure Facet of the Civil Rights Movement
Format: Paperback
The Deacons for Defense story has been buried since the mid sixties. The reasons for this loss are many. The Deacons don't fit the stereotype promulgated by the orthodox civil rights leaders and historians, nor does it particularly fit with the "conservative" historian view that anti-black violence largely was confined to a few terrible but soon overcome incidents [overcome with support of the Feds and the Press]. This book shows how pervasive the violence was and how the African-American Community especially the men, were scarred by the violence, and reluctant to join with the non-violent philosophy of the orthodox movement , as it destroyed their sense of manhood. The author does stretch at times to support his themes, especially the class differences between the Deacons and the mainstreamers, but this story is strong and should be better known. One amazing thing, with all of the hoopla about gun control, I'm surprised the NRA doesn't push the Deacon's story, as it does support the notion of an armed citizen being effective in countering an oppressive government. One can only surmise that the NRA supporters are also supporters of the repression in these instances. Ironic [but I digress].

Format: Paperback
If you are a second amendment supporter or if you are an African-American who wonders "What does all this second amendment stuff mean to me anyway?", you need to read this book. This doesn't take place in 'ancient' American history when only those on the frontiers needed to keep arms for hunting and protection or for the gentleman walking through 18th or early 19th century America, this is from America, the 1960's. This details what the average citizen may need to do when the local or state law enforcement won't protect your rights and what it is like to live, as a minority, during that type of time (and 'minority' may change as the winds of political strength changes). The movie about the same topic gives you only a taste. Enlarge your mind.

Review of Deacons for Defense
Format: Paperback
I found this book to be extremely informative about the Deacons. I was in Monroe ,LA in 1965 as a staff lawyer for the Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee. We represented Deacons in various instances. This history filled in innumerable gaps in my knowledge of the Deacons. To the extent of my recollection the facts and analysis seemed accurate to me. This book is recommended for anyone with an interest in acquiring a full understanding of important civil rights organizations which contributed to the Movement in the '60's'

I love this book
Format: Paperback
I love this book. Some of the incidents took place in my home town of Jonesboro, LA. I knew many of the men (and women) who risked their lives to take a stand for racial equality. CORE's Jonesboro Freedom House (although it is vacant) still stands today, and its structure has not changed. This house, along with many of the pictures of individuals, are shown between pages 107 & 108 of the book. I shared this information with some of my students. They were quite surprised that our small town was a part of History!
