Description

This succulent reaches 2-3' tall and 2' wide but will form large spreading colonies. Leaves are 4" across and about 2' long, thick and rigid, upward curving and gray green. Leaf margins have spines and there is also a terminal spine. It does need some protection from the sun in the low desert; it prefers afternoon shade in these areas. It is not very cold hardy and tolerates coastal conditions.
