Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Zn 8. Powdery-blue leaves with a white stripe.

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Selected for its striking foliage, toothed and narrowing to a sharply pointed tip with a pale to nearly white mid-stripe on the powdery blue leaves. Rosettes can reach up to 2 ft tall and wide. Sun and well-drained soil required. Drought tolerant but occasional summer water speeds growth and generally enhances the appearance. Frost hardy to 15 °F, mid USDA zone 8. Otherwise a happy container plant.
