Description: Cultivar. Luminous powder-blue leaves edged with dark margins; short, sharp teeth. Foliage often shows hints of lavender; opalescent tones in cooler weather. Compact, rounded rosette. Monocarpic (dies after flowering) and offsets moderately. Flower spike, at 10-15 years, can reach 10-14 feet tall. Pale yellow blooms attract pollinators. Tolerates full sun but benefits from protection during the hottest part of the afternoon. Excellent for containers, borders, and modern xeric landscapes where color and symmetry are key.
