Grayish-green leaves cross-banded in silvery-white, up to 20in (50cm) long and 2 ½in (6cm) wide, form an urn. During late summer and into autumn, a stem emerges from the urn and produces a flower head up to 6in (15cm) long. The pale-blue flowers turn rose-colored.

Height: 15–18in (38–45cm)

Spread: 15–20in (38–50cm)

Winter: 55–59°F (13–15°C). Indirect light

Summer: 59–75°F (15–24°C). Indirect light to light shade

Care: In winter, keep compost just moist and the urn full of water; in summer, water more freely, keeping the urn full of water. Feed every 4 weeks from late spring to late summer with weak fertilizer applied to the compost and in the urn.

Propagation: Once a plant has flowered, the rosette slowly dies and growth is taken over by offsets growing around it. Cut off the main plant at compost level. Once offsets are 1⁄3–½ the size of a full-grown parent plant, sever one close to its base with a sharp knife. Allow the cut surface to dry for 1–2 days then pot it into a clean pot with well-drained compost. Use a thin stake for support if necessary. Place in 64–70°F (18–21°C).
