and Mexico. They generally flower within 25 
years and their tall branched spikes are familiar 
to travelers. The rosettes of many are very

rich, well drained soil and a sunny location.

safely kept in a frost free cellar or attic. The 
species are innumerable but few are in gen- 
eral cultivation due to the space required.
