Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Representing old seed collections from C&J Nursery, these colonizing plants, from higher elevations of Arizona, quickly offset forming clumps of 5-6" rosettes of narrow, sharp-tipped leaves edged and streaked white and dressed with filifers. Where they are provided excellent drainage, plants have proven frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7, but might be protected at 10 to 15 °F, zone 8, just in case. A fine pot plant.
