It also blooms, producing a pretty yellow color at the end of each long stalk.

When planting, Parker recommends using sturdy gloves as the leaf tipsand even rootscan be very sharp.

If underplanting, sedums, hens and chicks, and kalanchoes make for nice companions.

Sedums

Another recommendation by Parker, these blooms pair particularly well with the above-mentioned agave.

Kalanchoes

This is another plant that holds up well in the heat.

The leaves are also unique to look atdon’t you think?!

This fact is what makes it the most efficient bloomer for minimum waterings.

This will support its robust growing habit, according to Parker.

She likes planting it alongside salvia, commonly known as sage, andlantana.

so be sure to place it away from crowded gathering areas.

While beautiful to admire in nature, it’s best to watch bees from a safe distance at home.

Just take Parker’s recommendation: Hens and Chicks.
