A thriller for patio containers with vibrant, tropical-looking foliage. An accent both indoors and outside that can grow up to 20', or be pruned down to 6'.
Additional
The short answer is no. Dracaena is toxic to both cats and dogs. Or rather saponin, a chemical compound that is found in the plant, is toxic to them. A dog eating dracaena leaves can result in vomiting (sometimes with and sometimes without blood), diarrhea, weakness, drooling, loss of appetite, and depression.
