Re: Zone 10

Kitty, check out C. terminalis "Auntie Lou." Leaves are at least 3" wide, sometimes 4"

SS says "...the grassy, upright blades are less than an inch wide..."
I don't want "grassy"
C. baueri, on my young plant, the leaves are an inch wide. I don't know if
they'll get any wider. They are definitely not "grassy", mor yucca-like. I
did find a picture that looks much like my plant. Take a look at it and
tell me if Red Sensation is as formidable. If so, I suppose I'd consider
it.

Neither do I, Kitty, but I can't possibly save everything due to space.
Why do you prefer C. baueri?
