| Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on May 11, 2019 3:42 PM Small to medium sized, well armed agave whose leaves often but not always feature a pale mid stripe. Offsets quite a bit by rhizomes and typically forms a small clump by the time it reaches flowering size. Relatively common in cultivation. [ Reply to this comment | |
