Black Knight Dragon Tree

Botanical Name: Dracaena marginata 'Black Knight'
Family: Asparagaceae
Origin: Madagascar
Plant Type: Evergreen small tree / architectural feature plant

Overview

Bold, dramatic and effortlessly stylish, Dracaena marginata 'Black Knight' is one of the most architecturally striking plants you can add to an Adelaide garden or outdoor space. Its slender, upright stems are crowned with tufts of long, strap-like leaves in deep dark green with rich red-purple margins — a combination that deepens and intensifies with sun exposure, creating a genuinely dark, moody effect unlike anything else in the landscape.
Slow-growing and low-maintenance, 'Black Knight' thrives in Adelaide's warm seasons and makes an outstanding feature in sheltered courtyards, alfresco areas and large containers. It copes with Adelaide's mild winters but appreciates protection from frost and cold winds. Indoors or out, this is a plant that commands attention without demanding much in return.

Key Features

  • Mature Size: 2.0–3.0 m H × 0.5–1.0 m W outdoors (1.0–1.5 m in containers); spreading vase form with age as stems branch
  • Growth Rate: Slow — 10–20 cm per year; easy to maintain at desired height
  • Foliage: Long, narrow strap-like leaves; dark green when young, deepening to dark purple-red with age and sun exposure; foliage colour intensifies in brighter light; evergreen year-round
  • Flowers: Rarely flowers outdoors in Adelaide; when it does, small creamy-white fragrant flowers appear in summer; followed by yellow-orange berries
  • Fragrance: Flowers lightly fragrant when produced; foliage not fragrant
  • Seasonal Interest: Dramatic dark foliage year-round → stems branch and spread with age creating sculptural multi-stemmed form → occasional summer flowers in warm established specimens
  • Wildlife Value: Flowers attract bees and pollinators when produced; dense foliage provides shelter for small garden fauna
  • Tolerance: Drought-tolerant once established; heat-tolerant; coastal-tolerant; frost-sensitive — protect from frost and temperatures below 5°C; shelter from strong or cold winds; tolerates part shade; dislikes waterlogged soils and fluoride-rich water
  • Planting Density: Plant as a single specimen or in groups of 3 at 60–80 cm spacing for a dramatic foliage cluster; ideal in large containers (40 cm+)
  • Pet Friendly: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested — keep away from pets

Where It Works Best

  • Sunlight: Full sun to part shade; full sun deepens the dark purple-red foliage colour; tolerates bright indirect light indoors
  • Soil: Free-draining sandy or loamy soils; excellent drainage is essential — will not tolerate wet feet; use a quality potting mix with added perlite or coarse sand for container growing
  • Water Needs: Establishment: water regularly for first 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 2–3 weeks in summer; allow soil to dry out between waterings; reduce significantly in cooler months
  • Maintenance: Minimal pruning needed — remove yellowing or damaged leaves; prune stems in spring to encourage branching and a fuller habit; feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer; avoid high-fluoride water and superphosphate fertilisers
  • Lifespan: Very long-lived; decades with correct care and drainage
  • Climate Zones: Best in warm, sheltered positions — coastal Adelaide, northern suburbs and protected courtyards; grow in containers in cooler foothills areas for easy frost protection
  • Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0); avoid alkaline conditions

Landscape & Design Ideas

  • Architectural feature plant for modern, tropical or minimalist garden designs where bold form and dark foliage create dramatic contrast
  • Group three stems together in a large statement pot for alfresco areas, pool surrounds and courtyard entrances
  • Pair with silver-foliaged plants such as Westringia, Artemisia or Leucophyta to maximise the dark foliage contrast
  • Use as a vertical accent to break up horizontal planting schemes in garden beds and mixed borders
  • Outstanding indoor specimen for well-lit living spaces, offices and atriums — brings the drama of the garden inside

Why You Will Love It

'Black Knight' is the rare plant that looks incredible doing absolutely nothing. The deep, almost-black foliage is genuinely unlike anything else in the garden, and the slow, sculptural growth means it just keeps getting better with age. Low-fuss, high-impact and effortlessly bold — it's the plant for gardeners who want drama without the drama.

Good Basic Athletic Shirt
Size: Small, Color: Gray (002)/Black
These shirts (I have six) are all they should be, and, for the price, an excellent choice for a regular workout or running shirt. Nothing too flashy. Washes well. Doesn't shrink or wrinkle. May run a tad small.

Fits great

Ah, let me spin you a yarn about the Under Armour Men's Tech 2.0 Short-sleeve T-shirt – the sultan of comfort, the maestro of moisture-wicking, and the unsung hero of casual wear that will make you question why you ever settled for less in the realm of T-shirts. First and foremost, let's talk about the fabric – it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud woven from the threads of a thousand cotton candy dreams. The Tech 2.0 T-shirt caresses your skin with the tenderness of a gentle breeze, making you wonder if you accidentally stumbled upon a secret society of clothing wizards who specialize in the art of softness. The fit is like a custom-tailored suit for your torso. It hugs you in all the right places without making you feel like a sausage casing or a misplaced balloon animal. I've worn it for everything from impromptu dance-offs to intense staring contests with the refrigerator, and it never once betrayed my aesthetic sensibilities. It's the kind of fit that says, "Yes, I work out, and yes, I also enjoy pizza. Balance, my friends, balance." Now, let's delve into the realm of moisture-wicking technology – a.k.a. the superhero cape of T-shirt features. I've worn this shirt through sweaty gym sessions, summer heatwaves, and surprise encounters with old acquaintances that induce nervous perspiration. And yet, it remains drier than a stand-up comedy show in a desert. It's practically a magical force field against sweat – the kind of sorcery that leaves you feeling fresher than a daisy in a rain shower. But the real showstopper is the Anti-Odor technology. It's like the T-shirt gods sprinkled a bit of enchantment into the fabric, ensuring that no matter how much you exert yourself, you'll smell as fresh as a mountain breeze. I've worn it for consecutive days – don't judge; laundry is a social construct – and emerged smelling like a field of wildflowers. And let's not forget the humor in this T-shirt masterpiece. The Under Armour logo is like a subtle flex, a tiny symbol that says, "I take my comfort seriously, but I'm also low-key athletic." It's the T-shirt equivalent of a wink and a nod, a fashion statement that knows how to have a good time. In conclusion, the Under Armour Men's Tech 2.0 Short-sleeve T-shirt isn't just a T-shirt; it's a lifestyle upgrade. With a comfort level that defies earthly standards, moisture-wicking prowess that mocks the very concept of sweat, and a dash of humor in its branding, it's the shirt you never knew you needed until you experienced the cottony embrace of greatness. So, fellow T-shirt connoisseurs, let the Tech 2.0 redefine your torso's expectations – where every wear is a journey into the luxurious realms of fabric excellence!

Superb running shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Steel Light Heather (036)/Black
I really love this shirt, so much I ordered a second one. I'm between a medium and large and found the medium was the best fit; not too tight. The large was a bit on the big side for me, but I kept it anyway, it's not so big it swallows you up. Even when sweaty, it doesn't cling to you like some of the running shirts I've tried.

Great fit and comfort, tho large variation in fabric features concerns me UPDATE 2Y LATER
Size: X-Large, Color: Academy Blue (408)/Graphite
Have bought a dozen of these, and for the most part aren't disappointed: exactly what I want in a moisture-wicking workout shirt: sturdy enough for weekly machine washing (front-loader, no agitator btw) but light and enough airflow to cool when hot, but still comfy down to high 60F w/o an add'l layer. Am a massage therapist so constantly work in conditions of strenuous physical activity for some parts of my work, in an office w/ A/C temps set to 68 -- cotton is pitifully bad at meeting comfort requirements for my use case; only wicking synthetic wear makes any sense. However... one thing I do notice about this shirt, which retails for $25 -- not cheap -- is the fabric seems outsourced to many suppliers, who all have their own idea of how to manufacture the base fabric. Some are more translucent than others, some far more stretchy and Lycra-like, and a variety of what 'navy blue' is. Largely this doesn't matter for me, as the dark colour reveals much less than lighter ones or white... but for anyone trying to conceal scars, tattoos, body hair or other physical traits you want concealed under clothing... the random chance you may receive a shirt with so much see-thru, one can easily make out physical details of the body underneath (especially in bright light as outdoors)... this may turn you off this UA line -- one star taken for QC issues. Four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ _ UPDATE 26 MAY 2026: Have been wearing this set of shirts for 2y now, so can confidently claim pros and cons about the product. Pros: - generally consistent after weekly washes over 2y (front-loading machine-washed warm, and machine-dried moderately warm w/ dryer sheets) - colour has stayed very colourfast - surprisingly resilient to both constant on-off during the day (switching shirts between clients when heavy client load to help prevent perceptible body odour) and hanging on hooks to dry what perspiration does absorb into them - very resistant to pilling -- which is not something I can claim with a lot of other wicking activewear - logos even in second-to-hottest dryer setting have not melted or worn at all -- whatever formulation UA uses for its silkscreened logos, needs to be an industry standard - does not in any way retain odours thru a wash (again, unlike many other brands of activewear I used to wear regularly) Cons: - the variation in type of fabric used as the base for this shirt, is the biggest criticism I have -- some wick moisture so well (probably UA's original spec) that it performs perfectly as claimed, with no apologetic action from me to compensate for... but others actually insulate -- causing a pool of perspiration to form between fabric and skin, negating its advantage over cotton blends. Inconsistency means it's a lottery on which of these shirt types you receive... which at $25 a pop is money I don't have, to spend for a company's lack of proper QA with overseas suppliers - Related: some shrink, most don't. But again, the one that does shrink (esp if it comes already small as quality control drift within UA's already proven to me), is a $25 penalty per against this shirt, perhaps shopping elsewhere would solve. Can't face clients with the bottom of my belly sticking out, when it fit perfectly first bought So more more pros than cons, but the cons are both showstoppers. Hope UA takes this criticism and actually improves the product as global nonsense jacks prices up everywhere, as over 2y they haven't changed much. Taking a star for two showstoppers unaddressed 2y, so lenient demotion to 3 stars, since their pros don't require me throwing away *all* their shirts for showstoppers above, just $100 - $125 worth ⭐️⭐️⭐️ _ _
