A small, sculptural Agave with steely blue-grey foliage that makes a striking addition to a succulent or rock garden. Its broad, shield shaped foliage bows out from the center of the plant before curving back inward at the tips. Grows as a solitary rosette and rarely produces offsets. Small marginal teeth and needle-like terminal spines are a dark red that contrast beautifully with its blue foliage. Fast-growing, so it tends to bloom at a younger age than most Agave. Prefers full sun to light shade inland. Plant in well-draining soil and water occasionally to infrequently.
