A hardy, evergreen perennial prized for its bold, architectural rosettes of green leaves with creamy yellow margins and fine white filaments along the edges. In mid to late summer, it produces tall spikes of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and add vertical interest to the landscape. Its striking foliage makes it ideal for rock gardens, borders, or low-maintenance, xeriscape plantings.
Valued for drought tolerance, low-maintenance growth, and ornamental foliage, it grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is highly tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soils. Minimal maintenance is needed; dead flower stalks can be removed after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance.
