Agave geminiflora is a slow-growing succulent known for its dense, symmetrical, 2-3′ rosette of narrow, dark green, flexible leaves with white, curly filaments on the leaf edges. It blooms once every 10-15 years, sending up a 12-18′ spike with yellow-green flowers. Ideal for xeriscaping, rock gardens, accents, mass plantings. It does not have a terminal leaf spine, so it works well in high-traffic areas. Best in full sun, but tolerates shade. Leaves will be stiffer in sun, softer in shade. Requires well-drained, gritty, or rocky soil, best on the acidic side. Monocarpic. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
