Agave applanata 'Cream Spike' [extra large]

Highlights

Agave applantata 'Cream Spike' : A variegated Agave cultivar with ocean blue and creamy yellow leaves. At it matures, it takes on the appearance of an artichoke. It's unique form and variegation make it an excellent centerpiece plant. This plant is fully rooted in a 6.0" pot.

Agave need plenty of full, outdoor sunlight and great drainage to thrive. They do well in gritty, mineral soils and pots with drainage holes. This species is drought tolerant as it has adapted to climates with only 4.0" to 5.0" of precipitation per year. Over time you'll see new offsets or "pups" sprout up around the base of the mother plant.

Agave grow slowly in the spring and summer and can tolerate high heat and extended drought. This variety is not frost hardy but will happily thrive through on a sunny window sill. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
