  • Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Oct 27, 2023 6:56 PM concerning plant:
    Smallish glaucous blue agave with a pale midstripe (pale bluish green or yellowish, depending on the exposure). Offsetting behavior, moderate growth rate, final rosette size 6-8". Probably good in a 10" container once it has formed a nice clump. Leaves have a rough texture. Best form and color in strong light, maybe best with some overhead protection in some climates.
