	Code: 90306 Price: $10.95 Out of Stock
	Quantity in Basket: None

Family: Asparagaceae subfamily Agavoideae This gorgeous plant resembles a yucca, but its gray-green leaves are soft and spineless. The stemless rosette eventually forms offsets to make a clump 3 to 4 feet wide and high. When in June bloom, it somewhat looks like a giant bromeliad with a 5 foot stalk of rosy-pink bracts and protuding rosy-pink flowers with bright green tips. Hummingbirds love it. Makes a nice specimen or container plant. Plant in full sun (partial shade in hot areas), fertile soil, and with good drainage. Drought tolerant. Native to dry woodlands of Mexico. USDA zones 9 - 11.
