What other plant parents say









I have this beautiful baby on the patio. It’s one if my favorites and has grown so much in the few weeks it’s been with me! The texture of these leaves is so cool, not painful to the touch but spiky/fuzzy! The little blue flowers that bloom are gorgeous and it’s a super fast grower. 11/10 would definitely recommend!
