Description

(syn. Agave potatorum ‘Kichiokan’)
Family Asparagaceae
Originating from Japan

A stunningly compact and imposing looking succulent with ferociously red spined leaves, elegant and beautifully marked with pale yellow variegation. Rare and much sought after, this slow growing small agave has an amazing symmetry, most apparent due to its tightly packed upright leaves, growing in a rosette shaped spiral pattern. Best planted in a pot and displayed on a hot sunny patio before returning to a frost free conservatory for winter.
Easy to grow with regular water and feeding in summer, with no feed and sparingly watered in winter.

Height and spread after 10 – 15 years 40cm x 40cm.
