Description
This durable accent shrub prefers full sun and tolerates reflected heat. It develops a short, thick trunk while slowly reaching a mature size of 4' tall by 6' wide. Give it room, as the leaf margins are sharp. A greenish-yellow single erect flower stalk reaches 10' tall in the spring. Irrigate every 2-3 weeks after plant is established, especially during the summer.

Water Saving Tip:
As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
