Interesting Facts
This variation has striking silver foliage with orchid pink flowers in summer and early fall. Tends to bloom when humidity spikes or just before/after a storm. Can grow up to 8 feet tall ('Compacta' is a shorter variety). Appearance gets thinner and "leggier" as the plant ages. Can provide an interesting color and texture contrast in the landscape, and "leggy" look is great in desert/xeriscape settings.
