Agave 'Awakening Angel' is a 2024 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a Hans Hansen selection of Agave ovatifolia 'Frosty Blue'. The new growth of this oddity emerges in spring with white-centered foliage, that ages to solid blue by the end of the summer. Because of this color change, Agave 'Awakening Angel' is as winter hardy as the species, compared to most variegated forms which lose their winter hardiness. So far, our plants have endured 11 degrees F, with no issues. Expect a 3' tall x 6' wide, non-offsetting clump at maturity.
