Care Tips:
Place in full sun for best growth and color. Water sparingly, as Century Plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions. Thrives in well-draining soil and is cold-hardy to about 10-15°F. Give it plenty of space to spread, and be mindful of the sharp leaf tips and spines when planting near walkways.
