Moderately fast-growing evergreen succulent to 12-18” tall x 3-4’ wide. This attractive species forms a uniform-looking mound of long, narrow, upright-growing bluish-green foliage that makes a wonderful contrast to deeper-colored, broad-leafed shrubs or succulents. Adding further appeal to this popular species are the cream-colored flowers that appear from late-spring to early-summer. Great for beds, borders, or for use in mixed succulent plantings (ground or container). Requires well-drained soil and little water once fully established, and thrives in a sun to light shade exposure.
