  • Description

  • Notes

Agave with open rosette form grows quickly to 3' x 3'. Narrow, dark green leaves are often have white hairs on the margin. The tips are sharp. Accepts full sun or partial shade. After about ten year or so, in the winter it will send up a spectacular 15-18' flower spike with yellow flowers. Like all agaves it will die after flowering. Rarely forms no offsets so it wiill need to be replaced. Native to west central Mexico.
