A beautifully variegated form of 'Little Harv' is nothing short of spectacular and is in high demand whenever offered. A large grower that can reach well over three feet tall, with broad, silvery leaves in an upright rosette. Each leaf has broad creamy-white variegation and this in combination with it's size, makes this a standout in any application. The inflorescence is chantinii-like with coral-yellow branches and large showy bracts. Popular for landscape where it prefers partial sun but can adapt to full sun and makes a spectacular interiorscape specimen. This is a patented variety.

The leaf color is bronzy-green and the inflorescence is a cluster of short pink-orange branches and bracts on a tall scape. Resembles Ae. fosteriana when in bloom.

Known as the 'Sea Onion', a bizarre caudiciform from Southern and East Africa which grows bulb-like with a peeling green caudex which can reach about six inches in diameter. The seasonal 'foliage' is actually a filamentous vining inflorescence in the brightest shade of green. This can be trained onto a trellis or left to hang from a basket. Grow in partial shade in a well draining media.
