Monocarpic (dies after flowering) but offsets freely, forming attractive clusters. Flower spike, after 8-12 years, may reach 8-10 feet. Pale yellow blooms attract pollinators. Best in full sun; excellent drainage but appreciates afternoon shade in extreme heat. Ideal for containers, small garden borders, or accent in protected xeric beds.
