LET749 Threadleaf Agave ( Agave filifera )
A great rock garden or container specimen. Threadleaf Agave is a beautiful eye-catching succulent that forms compact stemless rosettes of dark green lance-shaped leaves with ornamental white bud imprints, striking white filaments along the margins, and a sharp gray terminal spine. The rosettes grow up to 26 inches in diameter, producing offsets near the base. Leaves are up to 16 inches long and 2 inches wide.
It is tolerant of most soil, but needs adequate drainage. This agave is hardy to fifteen degrees Fahrenheit and is very drought-resistant. It will respond to a fertilizer application during the monsoon season and likes supplemental irrigation during the hot, dry summer. Avoid watering it during the winter months.
LET750 Queen Agave ( Agave victoriae-reginae )
Commonly called Queen Victoria agave or royal agave, is a succulent, herbaceous perennial native to rocky, limestone slopes in the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico. Mature clumps will reach up to 1' tall and 1.5' wide. May grow in a solitary rosette or form offsets. The stiff, dark green, angular leaves can reach around 7" long and form a tight rosette.
The leaves have contrasting, smooth, white margins and a short, black, terminal spine. In summer a single, 10-15' tall, unbranched flowering spike will emerge from the center of rosettes that are 15-30 years old. The flowering stalk is topped with an unbranched spike of yellow-green flowers. The rosette will dieback after blooming.
The specific epithet victoriae-reginae honors Queen Victoria (1819-1901), Queen of the United Kingdom from 1837 until her death.
