Agave 'Sun Shark' is a 2026 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of our yellow-centered sport of Agave 'Sharkskin Shoes'. As the leaves age, the central pattern fades from bright gold to chartreuse. We have been working with this since 2014 and find the growth rate extremely slow, which can be beneficial if you're growing it in a container with minimal shelf space.
