Evergreen Perennial, Succulent
One of the best climate adapted Agaves that we can grow. Thin sea green leaves are curled at the tips from a rosette that eventually reaches 30†across. In time established clumps form offsets. This has been the easiest Agave to cultivate in our region requiring no special care and thriving through cold and winter wet. Well drained soil in full sun is ideal. An excellent plant in the maritime Pacific Northwest. —Xera Plants
