Agaves are extremely drought-tolerant, and many need no supplemental irrigation in coastal California. They will however look better and grow faster if they are given additional water, especially during summer. This hybrid agave may be more forgiving than others of overwatering, especially if it's in good drainage. This agave will need some summer irrigation in sunny spots when it is away from the coast. | |

Notas de cultivo
This agave is monocarpic, meaning that a head will grow larger and larger over time, building up energy, then send off a spectacular flower and afterward decline and die, replaced by pups from the base.
If you'd like a single head or just a couple heads, just remove the pups from the base as they grow.
This agave is inclined to physical damage and does have small teeth, so keep it back from high traffic paths where people might bump into it.
In gopher-prone areas plant in a root cage.
Interés especial
When agaves set pups they can easily be removed and propagated. Cut below the base of the leaves with a piece of stem or rhizome and leave out to dry for a few days before potting up.
