Agave schidigera 'Shira ito no Ohi'

What more could you ask? It's relatively small in growth, has beautiful coloration and fascinatingly long and curly threads. In addition, like most agaves, it's quite easy to grow, even as a potted specimen in areas where it can't be grown outdoors year 'round. Can you guess? It's one of my favorites.

Agave schidigera 'Shira ito no Ohi'

This is a small, slow growing Agave, which is perfect for those who just don't have room or climate to grow the larger agaves. Growing to a foot across it can make an outstanding specimen in a nice pot, or grown in the ground in a dryer zone 8 or warmer.
