A fairly small grower from coastal Venezuela, with vicious recurving spines. Highly decorative with many stiff, light green leaves in a compact rosette to about 20 inches across. At anthesis the center of the plant blushes brilliant red. Reproduces with long, stiff stolons. A decorative container plant or garden subject.
We once saw a great many plants used in Venezuela on road overpasses as landscape plants. The unexpected downside was that the spiny leaves caught all the trash thrown on the roadway, creating a terrible mess.
