Mexican Lily

Introducing this lovely agave relative from northern Mexico, the Mexican Lily produces gorgeous rosettes of grey green leaves that are visually reminiscent of a yucca or agave, but soft and flexible so they won’t stab you! This perennial evergreen will clump out in time to make more rosettes, and in early summer a big showy shoot will rise 3-6 feet above the rosette, and shows off its green and red bell shaped flowers! Very striking, high drama visual appeal, and quite easy to grow… so long as it doesn’t fall below about 15 F. A native to northern Mexico, this plant prefers to be grown in warm, sheltered sites in full sun or under glass.
