Agave polianthiflora (Tuberose-flowered Century Plant)

Sun to Part SunZone: 8-10, at least 5" tall Origin: Mexico

NEW! This northern Mexican species makes a very cute rosette to only 5" tall x 10" wide, composed of very dark green leaves, highlighted with an abundance of white filifers (hairs). In the wild, A. polianthiflora can be found clinging to pine and oak forested rock outcrops up to 6,500' elevation...come to think of it, that's exactly what I do at that elevation. The 6' tall spikes of pinkish-red flowers top the plant at maturity. It usually takes approximately 8-10 years for agaves to prepare for meaningful sex in captivity, but it sure beats every 100 years in the wild. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
