Agave schidigera Black Widow 3.25"

(Century Plant) A selection touted for its abundance of white wiry “hairs” that emerge from the leaf margins, lending to its spidery namesake. Deep green lance-shaped leaves tipped with a single spike form a rigid rosette that maintains a compact size. Great for containers, although, depending on your hardiness zone, it should be overwintered indoors. The common name Century Plant is a slightly exaggerated reference to the infrequency of the bloom, which occurs in optimal conditions only once at about 20 years.
