Notes
This architecturally interesting succulent has a single rosette that opens its wavy, gray green leaves, eventually reaching 2' tall and 3' wide. Margins of leaves have soft spines. Yellow blooms appear on panicles, 6'-8' tall, but infrequently. This agave can be planted in full sun near coastal areas but needs shade in warmer inland areas. It prefers well draining soil and is drought tolerant once it's established.
