A selection touted for its abundance of white wiry “hairs” that emerge from the leave margins, lending to its spidery namesake. Deep green lance-shaped leaves tipped with a single spike form a rigid rosette that maintains a compact size.

The common name Century Plant is a slightly exaggerated reference to the infrequency of the bloom, which occurs in optimal conditions only once at about 20 years.
