Agaves are often known for their striking appearance and beautiful structure. They tend to have large leaves with sharp pointed tips, making them the perfect feature plant in pots.
We recently had a large delivery in of Agaves. Here is a little insight into some of the Agave we have in stock:
- Agave 'Pineapple Express' 7.5L and 8L – evergreen, spikey rosette of burgundy/green leaves. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position.
- Agave 'Silver Fox' 30L - evergreen, rosette forming with waxy, fleshy, light green leaves and a silver hue. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position.
- Agave americana 7L and 30L – an excellent architectural plant with rosettes of large grey/green sharply pointed leaves. Ideal for patio tubs.
- Agave americana 'Variegata' 7L - rosette shaped succulent with spiny, grey-green leaves that have thin yellow margins. This is a striking ornamental plant which will make a clump of rosettes over time.
- Agave attenuate - rosette shaped succulent which forms a clump of shoots over time. This species has broader and softer light green leaves than Agave americana. It is suited to any hot themed planting scheme, or for use as a specimen.
- Agave havardiana 8L - Havard's Century Plant is a succulent plant that is very cold tolerant. It is a single rosette of thick silvery grey leaves; these have patterns on them from the younger leaves. Each leaf is tipped with a sharp terminal spike.
Fun fact: Tequila is made from Agave. You can also use it as a needle and thread - you’ll have to research that one to find out how!
