| Description | Forms large rosettes of toothless, pliable, blue-green leaves that are wider and more blue than the species. Develops a stout stem that raises the rosette above the ground. At maturity, it sends up an impressive flower stalk that can reach 7 to 10 feet tall. Provides big impact in desert landscapes, but also makes an excellent houseplant, where its growth will be restricted by the size of pot in which it is planted. Evergreen. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Blooms at maturity, 10 to 15 years or older. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Waterwise |
| Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Drought Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container, Houseplant |
| Flower Color | White |
| Foliage Color | Blue-green |
| Care Instructions | Provide lean to average, well-drained soil. Thrives in full sun to part shade in cool coastal areas; part shade or away from reflected heat in desert and hot summer areas. Drought tolerant once established in cooler regions; needs regular water in hotter summer regions. Fertilize sparingly when new growth begins in spring. |
