Care and Culture, Classification

This is one of the aechmeas that form tall upright tubes. The few leaves are 1-3 ft (30-90cm) high, depending on the particular clone, with strong black spines on the edges.

The flower spike, produced in May, is a long-lasting cylindrical head of bright yellow flowers cupped in brilliant red stem bracts. It is very free-flowering and produces offsets on strong prickly stolons.
