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.
