Description from Cacti.Com

This is a great plant for bringing contrasting dark foliage into xeriscape and low-water gardens. It looks spectacular when contrasted with gray or silver-blue foliage and is also interesting rising above grasses like Nassella Tenuissima. It also works well in containers – alone or combined with other succulents.
