Also called 'Silver Vase', due to its coloring and rosette growth, like a small reservoir. When the plant is not flowering, it is recommended to regularly add water to the center of the rosette. The leaves are silvery green and lined with small thorns. Its flowering lasts several months, but only happens once. In the center of the plant an inflorescence appears in the form of pink and thorny bracts. Then, in summer, when the plant is ready, small blue or purple flowers appear.
