One of our most attractive agaves, sometimes clump forming. Unarmed leaves make it a good plant for containers. Full sun or light shade. Slender recurving medium green leaves form a spider. Flowers are white-orange similar to an aloe. This agave is one of very few that does not die after flowering. The bloom spike is 3' of densely packed cream colored flowers. Adaptable to deep shade or full sun. Is more moisture tolerant than others if good drainage is present. Native on limestone ledges.

hardy to 15f
