$ 15.98
Also known as False Aloe.
Texas Tuberose has fleshy leaves, somewhat akin to aloe leaves, that have irregular maroon spots. The flowers are creamy white to light pink, and age to a deep rose, and are fragrant. It needs well-draining soil and does best with some summer watering. It appreciates a light shade, especially during the hottest part of the day.
