Description

Chiseled, triangular leaves form ghostly colored rosettes up to 1.5 feet across, and never exceeding 8 feet tall. The frosty, light colored leaves pick up an interesting amethyst tint when dry, or during cool winter temperatures. Its winter/early spring blossoms will startle you with brilliant orange flowers suspended 2 feet above the plant on tall candelabra stems. Pups, or offshoots, form around the base of the mother plant, eventually producing nice clumps of up to 3 feet across. Full sun to part shade, very salt tolerant at ocean-side locations, does well from regular garden watering to very water-wise.
