Add Your Opinion About This Plant   RichardF42 (1) wrote on Nov 02 2009 I think that this is C. subulata (usually called C. rigidus in nurseries unfortunately). The real C.rigidus has broader leaves with a stiff, raised margin I like this opinion Kiasmum (123) wrote on Nov 04 2012 Old seed heads need to be removed or shrub becomes sparse and woody. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
