Caribbean Agave

Although native to Mexico and Central America, these evergreen succulents have the common name of Caribbean Agave and they are so easy to grow that you can leave them alone and they will thrive! Their botanical name is Agave angustifolia, and these slow-growing plants offer a dramatic appearance that makes them suitable for a broad range of landscape options. They form a large rosette of narrow, erect, green leaves, that come in a variegated variety and we like mass planting them for a stunning landscape scene that you have to see to believe! We also use them in rock gardens, mixed borders, or in any tropical theme landscape design. These are versatile plants ideal for almost any landscape style! Over time, the Caribbean Agave can produce a stalk full of yellow flowers that can attract many pollinators.

Caribbean Agave is drought tolerant and thrives in full to partial sun exposures. This agave is low-maintenance, once established, and requires little to moderate water use, so if you do not have a green thumb, these plants are for you! They have strong symmetry and can often be used in urban and modern gardens with little space. From tropical to xeriscape, this Caribbean Agave is the right choice for any landscape!
