Plant Description: Terrific plant for sunny areas with little water and tough soil. Sword like leaves are gray-green on the edges and creamy gold in the center, with rosy hints in the winter. Long curly white threads are found along the leaf margins. In early summer, a spike with creamy white blooms will rise from the center of the rosette and should be removed after blooming.
