Dear Valued Customers,

We're reaching out to let you know that Top Tropicals made it through Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and we are fully back up and running. While these storms caused some damages to our facilities and brought down trees, we were fortunate that our plants and inventory remained safe and beautiful. After a lot of cleanup and repairs, we are excited to resume shipping your orders as scheduled!

Thank you for your kind messages and continued support during this time. If you were unaffected by these hurricanes, we invite you to support us as we restore our nursery and raise fallen trees.

For those who lost plants and trees to the storms, we've included a 20% discount code below to help you start fresh. Let's grow green again - together!

What does Dragon Fruit Flower look like?

🐲 What does Dragon Fruit Flower look like?
  • 🪷 Dragon fruit flowers are large, bright, and truly eye-catching. They have long, pale petals that spread out like a star, with a creamy white or yellowish center.
  • 🪷 The flowers open at night, giving them a magical, moonlit vibe, and their size makes them look almost otherworldly.
  • 🪷 When they bloom, they can be up to a foot wide, and they give off a sweet, subtle fragrance. It's like seeing a flower from a fairy tale!
