Description

This succulent forms a tight rosette 2' x 2', resembling a cabbage. Stout gray leaves are edged with small teeth; leaves have a sharp terminal red spine. It prefers full sun to part shade with well draining soil. Green flowers shoot straight up the plant indicating the demise of the plant. Small colonies form around the "mother" plant.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
