Tetragonolobus maritimus

Dragon's teeth is a perennial herbaceous plant that loves sunlight and comes from open habitats, often prospering in meadows and grasslands. While it favors full sun, it can also tolerate partial sun.

Dragon's teeth can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It grows best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the risk of Dragon's teeth dying. In winter, protecting the plant from cold can help improve its survival rate.

The optimal time to fertilize Dragon's teeth is in early spring, when it is coming out of dormancy and starting active growth. Fertilizing supplies essential nutrients needed for healthy development. While Dragon's teeth has relatively low fertilizer requirements, an annual application can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
