Description

Boldly colored rosettes of strappy green leaves with bright yellow edges are sure to add drama to the landscape. Leaves curve gracefully downward, each ending with a sharp tip. Develops a short, trunk-like base over time, with a tree-like appearance. Deep pink buds on tall flower stalks open to fragrant, white, bell-shaped flowers. Blooms infrequently and followed by brown seed capsules. Evergreen. This succulent reaches 1-2 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It does best in lean, well draining soil in full sun. Remove spent flowers.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
