Palmer's agave

Palmer’s Agave is a beautiful succulent, native to northern Mexico and the western United States. Also known as Palmer’s Century Plant, this agave has a history of being used as a food source in the region and for mescal production.

This agave grows in a rosette-shaped form with near-symmetrical leaves that grow up and curve away from the root. The green-gray leaves on the Palmer’s Agave can get up to two feet long and a few inches wide. This plant can grow fast and up to four feet tall and wide.

We love designing with succulents because of the minimal maintenance they require, and Palmer’s Agave is no different. This succulent variety can be planted in any location in your landscape as it will thrive in partial shade to full sun conditions. This agave does not need much water and becomes drought-tolerant once it is established in the soil.
