A stunning variegated form of the beautiful and hardy Flying Dragon citrus. The variegated foliage looks particularly striking against the contorted branches and the curved thorns and branches often have an excellent striped variegation to them.

Snow Dragon is also seemingly just as cold hardy, to at least 0° F, making this a stunning ornamental all the way down to zone 6.
