| Without a close-up of the leaves I can't be positive but it does look like one. The leaves are supposed to have a red edge and green and white stripes. | |

| Just compare these to yours... the colour varies depending on shade or sun but I don't think there are any other similar coloured Dracaenas

| I'd say it is... unless there has been any new releases recently of similar ones but I haven't heard of any. They do seem to have varying amounts of red on them, some much more than others but all called tricolour. | |

|  Thanks Gail ,I agree , the small young one gets more colour ,its growing in mostly shade. maybe that makes a difference to colour. | |
