Also called 'Vase d'argent', by its coloring and its growth in a rosette, like a small reservoir. When the plant is not in the flowering period, it is recommended to regularly add water to the center of the rosette. The leaves are silvery green and edged 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 spiny bracts. Then, in summer, when the plant is ready, small blue or purple flowers appear.
