This is a palm-like, sub-tropical tree that grows with an upright habit and with age will branch to produce several heads. This cultivar is a very showy plant with clusters of arching, sword like leaves that are dark gray-green with bright pink margins. Produces large panicles of small, sweet scented flowers in late spring to summer. Best in full coastal sun to light shade, some shade protection necessary in hotter inland gardens.
