Nageliella purpurea 'Santa Barbara' This plant is prized for its foliage! The rigid, lovely patterned leaves that are distinct to this species are exceptionally gorgeous on this variety. True to form, this plant grows vigorously and has the same bloom type: small, vibrant pink flowers bloom as a cluster on the end of a slender, arching stem. This plant is also cherished for its unique flowering habit: it blooms even on its old flower stems, year after year. It is
crucial to remember that although the old flower stems will look dried-up and papery they will bloom again, year after year, so do
not trim the old spikes away!! . Temperature Tolerant. January - February blooming. Species from Central America.
