Big Tuna is a slow-growing, hardy plant with dense, light green foliage. This foliage on his dense upright form create a series of ridges, not unlike the ribbed ridges of a shower cap. The slow growth rate, color and form makes´Big Tuna´ more than just a trivia answer to an NFL sports quiz, but rather an ideal candidate for the rock garden and small garden areas.
