An interesting and rarely seen agave relative that looks a bit like an agave trying to be a yucca with broad blue leaves (that aren’t sharp and stabby) and eventually forming a trunk up to 7′ tall. Grows well in places with cool summers as it’s from high elevations in Guatemala and southern Mexico, but requires a nearly frost free winter in order to survive, so better suited to growing in pots in colder climates.

Plant in extremely well-draining soil in the brightest conditions if planting in ground. Otherwise, it makes a fantastic container specimen and can be brought indoors when very cold weather is in the forecast.
