About
This resilient perennial is celebrated for its striking, architectural leaves, which emerge in a distinct star-like rosette. Its stiff, lance-shaped foliage often features beautiful mottling in shades of green, bronze, and reddish-brown.
Where it works in Kilifi
An excellent choice for Kilifi's dry gardens, it thrives in dappled shade to partial sun but tolerates full sun once established. Ideal for pots, rockeries, or as a low-maintenance groundcover, it adds strong structural interest to any landscape.
Growing notes
A slow-to-moderate grower, this plant is remarkably drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal watering. Ensure well-drained soil to prevent rot, as overwatering is its primary adversary.
