Under very dry conditions the usually bright green leaves might turn yellowish red. The very dense rosette might gain up to 30 cm in diameter and the green yellowish inflorescence, which appears in June, reaches up to 50cm in height! As plants will die down after flowering they can only be propagated generatively or by leaf cuttings, which have to be taken carefully from the central part of the rosette.
