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:
Even during our hottest months we don't need to water daily.
Give your plants a chance to breathe.
Water late at night or in the early morning hours to avoid losses to wind and evaporation.
