Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants
Phoenix Perennials describes Snow Dragon as a variegated, contorted form of Monstrosa/Flying Dragon, with leaves mixing green, white and cream and variegated stems and thorns. It expects the variegated plant to grow more slowly and suggests container or bonsai use. Its product fields list full sun, 4–6 ft height, 2–3 ft width and USDA zones 5–9; these are seller listing values, not trial measurements. General trifoliate-orange text on the page is not treated as cultivar-specific.

Nurseries Caroliniana’s listing uses first-person wording to say it christened this variegated Flying Dragon selection Snow Dragon. It describes new growth as white on stems and leaves, stems turning green as wood hardens, and leaves ranging from wholly white to green-centered with broad white margins. These are nursery descriptions rather than standardized measurements.
