Description

One of the best choices for containers or small planting areas. Short stout leaves with deep green and white markings. Forms a tight rosette to 18" across. Very slow but long lived. Full sun, water sparingly to maintain form. Native to the Chihuahuan Desert on rocky limestone hills from 4-5000'. Does not often offset. Somewhat subject to weevil attacks. June-July: pale green flowers on 4' spike.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
