Dracaena draco | Dragon tree
Dracaena draco grows naturally across the Canary Islands, and in Lanzarote it is especially resonant within the island’s volcanic landscape. Teguise, the former capital of Lanzarote, sits in a dry, wind-shaped environment defined by basaltic soils, low rainfall, and intense light—conditions that mirror the dragon tree’s native ecological niche. Here, the species stands as both a botanical relict and a cultural landmark.
