Agave salmiana

Family: Asparagaceae, Genus: Agave

Description:

Agave salmiana, native to central and southern Mexico, is a striking succulent known for its spiral-shaped rosette of large, dark green leaves with prominent spines. This monocarpic plant flowers once, producing a floral stem up to 13 feet tall, before dying after 15-25 years. It can reach a height of 6 feet and a width of 12 feet, making it a dramatic addition to gardens. Agave salmiana is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained sandy soil with full sun exposure, capable of withstanding light frost if kept dry.
