Description

This evergreen shrub without any stems looks like a succulent or cactus plant. Foliage slowly reaches 3'-4' tall and 4' wide. Leaves are stiff, sword-shaped with green margins and gold central stripes, with spines at the tip. Interesting curly white threads hover close to the leaf margins. In spring, a central stalk emerges with white fragrant flowers, reaching 6' tall. This plant tolerates full to part sun with well draining, sandy, average soil. It is drought tolerant once it's established. Hardy.
