Description
Notes
Agave has compact rosette form and grows slowly to about 2' x 2'. Leaves are grey-green, wedge-shaped and leave distictive impressions on the upper leaves as they grow. Particularly decorative. After several years will send up a flower stalk with bright yellow flowers in the summer. Like all agaves it will die after flowering. Very cold hardy. Accepts full sun. Native to Arizona and Chihuahuan Desert.
Frost tolerant to 15 F.
