    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Beautiful rosettes of green leaves speckled with so many snowflakes that they appear more white than green. They also send up 12 to 18 inch stalks with bright orange blooms tipped with yellow. Easy to grow in well-drained soil and good light. It makes a nice window sill or patio plant.
