  • Description

  • Notes

Evergreen succulent foms dense rosettes 3' x 6'. Dense rosettes of narrow dull green grasslike leaves with fine white filiments on the edges. Ideal for low-maintenance gardens, but give it ample room for its arching flower stalks to develop. Summer bloom stalks to 12', with small greenish-lavender flowers. Needs good drainage. Accepts full sun, reflected sun, or partial shade. Native to Sonora, Mexico.
