Description

This attractive succulent is an evergreen that quickly reaches 18" tall and 36" wide. Leaves are thick, long and oval, blue green with a thin pink margin. Leaves form a rosette. From spring through summer, 12" tall spikes rise from the center of the rosettes, with blue colored buds changing to coral, tubular flowers. This plant does well in full sun in coastal areas but appreciates afternoon shade in warm, inland areas. It needs well draining soil. It is drought tolerant once it's established.

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.
