Introduction:
A genus of remarkable plants mostly with long, narrow, strong spine-tipped leaves in rosettes, some species hardy in all but the coldest districts, and thriving in seaside gardens in poor sandy soil.
Description:
Known variously as Spanish Dagger, Adam’s Needle, Roman Candle and others, this is a small, tree-like species with glaucous-green, stiff leaves armed with hard spines at their tips.
