Spanish bayonet manifests as a resilient desert dweller, featuring long, narrow leaves that are edged with fine, curling fibers. These leaves grow in a basal rosette pattern, giving the plant a distinctive spherical shape. In its flowering season, spanish bayonet produces tall, slender flower stalks that can reach up to 3 feet (about 1 meter) in height, atop which bloom creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers. As an evergreen species, spanish bayonet retains its foliage throughout the year, providing a constant display of its sharp, sword-like leaves that can range from a bluish-green to a grayish-green hue.
