This striking specimen slowly forms a solitary rosette of narrow, lance-shaped leaves lined with distinctive curly white filifers (threads). The dark green leaves have sharply contrasting creamy yellow to white margins and end in a sharp, reddish cinnamon spine. Scaly leaf imprints are seen mostly on the backs of the leaves which form a rigidly upright rosette. When the plant matures after many years, a 10? spike carrying red-purple buds and greenish flowers rises high above the rosette. After flowering, the plant dies.
This plant was formerly known as A. filifera ?Compacta Marginata?.
