Description

This is a medium-sized agave that will grow to about 2' x 2'. The leaves of this plant are very fleshy, and can range from bright green to blue-gray. This agave needs partial shade in the low desert, but can handle up to full sun in cooler climates. Native in eastern Mexico, across the states of Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, and Hidalgo.
