Comments:
The primary feature of this soft yucca-like plant is its striking purple-bronze foliage. It makes a strong presence in the garden because of the rosette of colorful foliage. It is an excellent selection for containers, especially large containers in the garden. Plants are quite cold hardy and can become permanent elements in the garden although they appear to be tropicals.
