Thread Leaf Agave

 

This small to medium-sized agave grows in dense tufts of rosetting slender, lance-shaped dark green leaves with white threads (filaments) along margins and a grey terminal spine. Leaf buds create an attractive white imprint on the leaves. In hot inland areas provide light shade and frost protection to maintain best appearance. A great accent or focal plant in either container or ground.
