Description
A slow-growing, evergreen perennial succulent with a single rosette of narrow, fleshy mid-green leaves with pointed ends. A bottle-brush like spike of densly clustered creamy-white flowers appear on mature plants. A smaller variety and very hardy, making it a great architectural or tropical-looking addition to the garden
