This variegated form is especially attractive and it is always one those plants that caught peoples eyes in the green house. It look like a giant artichoke with somewhat wide, short pale blue leaves margined with cream coloured edges and a dark-red, sharp terminal spine and small, but very sharp reddish lateral leaf spines. The handsome smaller rosette will not exceed 15 cm in diameter and is therefore ideal for growing in containers.
