The rosette is made up of long, narrow, fleshy leaves, quite dark green. The short flowers stems carry several large, wide-open, pure white flowers. Repeat flowering later in the summer is quite common. It likes moisture while in full growth, but should be kept drier from late on in the summer until winter.
