They spread by stolons to form wide rosettes of usually stemless, softly spiny leaves. In summer, they produce varyingly branched inflorescences with leafy bracts and small, dense clusters of slender, tubular, mainly white flowers. In areas where temperatures drop below 15°C (59°F), grow in a warm greenhouse; in warm, dry climates use in a desert garden.
