Succulent grows to 3' x 6'. Leaves are leathery green with smooth margins and soft tips. Flowers appear on a stalk in the spring. Very similar to Nolina microcarpa but smaller with creamy flower spikes inside the rosette of foliage. This plant is very adaptable, and can tolerate full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Would be good for poolside planting. Native to Mexico and Texas.

Frost tolerant to -15 F.
