About This Plant
Full sun. Evergreen. Considered one of the most attractive small agaves, with short blue leaves, jet-black spines, and a nearly flat-topped rosette allowing easy appreciation of its designer form.
Common in the horticultural trade, artichoke agave is a popular subject for pots and rock gardens; many varieties are available. It’s winter-hardy to 0 degrees F; do not apply water in winter.
Plants produce plentiful offsets.
Maintenance
Occasional grooming to remove damaged leaves. Wear gloves; both sap and thorns can cause severe skin irritation.
