Bloom spikes emerge from older rosettes, which die after flowering – the plant is perpetuated by “pups” or offshoots. A bright accent in the waterwise landscape or a unique groundcover in mass plantings. Evergreen. |

| Care Instructions | Provide lean to average, well-drained soil. Thrives in full sun in cool coastal areas; shelter from harsh afternoon sun and reflected heat in hot summer areas. Drought tolerant once established, but looks best with periodic water in extreme heat. The mother plant declines after flowering; younger rosettes will perpetuate the plant. |
