This is a striking plant that can be grown as a single or mulitple stemmed specimen. The foliage is stiff green leaves with strong cream-variegated margins that flush with red much of the year. Plant in full sun or light shade in fairly well drained soil – it tolerates sandy conditions and is very drought tolerant. Hardy to zone 6. Caution should be taken where this is planted as the tips are very sharp.
