Description

This form has arching leaves with a creamy white stripe down the center of the blue-green leaf. The leaves are outstanding with their arching form and are well armed with a stout, terminal spine as well as marginal teeth. It is somewhat smaller than the americana variety, growing to around 4' tall and wide. It prefers full sun, well drained soil and will perform well in containers. This form also will die after bloom (may take 10 years) but will survive in the form of new pups around the old plant.
