Description

A succulent with 1-2 foot long branched stems that lie over horizontally or arch slightly upward bearing 5 inch wide rosettes of absinthe-green, pointed leaves that are slightly concave above and keeled below and are vividly marked with red on the margins and mid leaf. In summer appear the pale yellow flowers marked with red on an up to 2 foot tall erect and unbranched inflorescence. The bracts have a coloring similar to the leaves. Plant in cool full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate regularly to occasionally in spring and summer. Hardy to 25 °F. This plant comes from a wide range within central Mexico (Oaxaca to Puebla) where it typically grows on dry limestone hills.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
