A remarkable blue grey coloured small Agave that gives accent to landscape. The delightful coloured spiny leaves form an arching habit in hot, moist conditions and becomes very succulent in appearance. The compact habit of this Agave makes it ideal for containers or as a garden specimen to compliment its surroundings with the attractive wavy spined foliage.
Full sun to shade.
Dimensions: reaching a height and spread of 1m
Flower: a flower spike will appear in 4-6 years reaching a height of 3-4m with a beautiful golden flower.
Foliage: stunning blue grey foliage in the full sun. If grown in the shade it will have a greenish tinge. The leaves are wavy and spined with small offsets being produced around the base of the plant during the growing season
Uses: will tolerate very dry, xerophytic conditions if required but grows happily in better conditions which will speed up its growth rate. Use in limited soil depth down to 300mm, unirrigated as a tall textural groundcover at the front of planting space. Also makes an excellent deterrent for security sensitive locations and pedestrian traffic guidance where people would normally “cut the corner”.
