Description

Family Asparagaceae
Originating from Mexico

A surprisingly hardy Agave with a compact rosette of smooth, chunky, powder blue/silver leaves. These leaves are very broad at the base, and channelled along their length, and combined with the unusual colouration, this is a very distinctive Agave. Reasonably fast growing, make sure you leave plenty of room for it to expand over the years.
Grow in sharply drained soil in full sun. Extremely cold tolerant and will coast through the average UK winter. However, in very cold winters it may need some protection in the form of a cloche to keep rain and snow from freezing in the leaf bases.

Eventual mature plant size :
Height 1.5m
Spread 1.5-2m
