Whether it’s used in a container, rock garden, or next to the pool, this perennial evergreen makes an attractive show in your landscape. Long gray-green leaves, which are not dangerously sharp, arch gracefully toward the ground. In summer, exotic, large rosette flowers bloom on 3-5 foot spires that emerge from the center, and last into the fall.

This plant is water wise and fire wise and does well in containers, rock gardens, and poolside, attracting bees, birds, and butterflies.
