Native to the Canary Islands, it forms a neat, freely branching dome of many small blue-green rosettes, each leaf finely edged in red, so a well grown plant looks like a cluster of spinning pinwheels. It is an easy, sculptural container plant that brings crisp, contemporary structure to any collection of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hardy-exotics\"\u003ehardy exotics\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a tender succulent, not a frost hardy one, and understanding that is the key to keeping it for years. Rated RHS H1C, it is happy outdoors through the warmer months but must be protected once temperatures fall. Bring it under frost-free cover before the first frosts and keep it almost dry while it is dormant, watering only enough to stop the rosettes shrivelling. Grow it in a gritty, free-draining mix, keep it on the dry side over winter, and move it to a bright, frost-free place such as a porch, cold greenhouse or windowsill before the first frosts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow and where to grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun for the tightest rosettes and the strongest red leaf edges, ideally in a sheltered, east or south facing spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e gritty, free-draining loam or sand based compost, and never leave it standing in water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e a compact, bushy habit reaching roughly 0.3 to 0.6 m tall and wide over many years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e tender at RHS H1C, so keep it dry and frost-free through winter and it will reward you season after season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts drought tolerant nature makes it ideal for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-pots\"\u003epots and containers\u003c\/a\u003e and for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drought-tolerant-plants\"\u003edry and gravel gardens\u003c\/a\u003e, where it thrives on sharp drainage and reflected warmth.
