A Bit More

‘Platinum’ is a relatively modestly sized Agave, but is still big enough to be an excellent lower focal point in a xeriscape setting. Luminous arching leaves reach out of a central whorl, each guarded by small dark teeth along the margin, and an impressive point at the end. Deer are unlikely to be interested in it. Once properly established, Agave g. ‘Platinum’ is unlikely to need irrigation ever again.
