A white plant with several tall stems lined with small, spiraling leaves. Each stem splits into multiple, thinner stems bearing lines of baby pink, bell-like flowers that have not yet bloomed. At the base of the plant, larger pointed, white leaves grow in three rose-shaped spirals, with the outermost leaves becoming tan and papery.
