Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Has flexible narrow, dark-green, awl-shaped leaves, 3-12 leaves per growth which are deeply furrowed if the plant is grown dry. The leaves are 9" wide. Great for hanging baskets. If branches that send out stolons (roots) are left hanging in mid-air, they remain very skinny and have the appearance of desiccated plants even if the parent plant is well-watered. Cut these off and form new plants!
