A small, mostly solitary rosette forming Agave with distinctive wavy blue-green foliage edged with blunt teeth. Grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide and may eventually produce offsets around the base. It prefers to be protected from full exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations and so should be planted in part sun inland and protected from frost. Can be grown in full sun along the coast. Makes a great specimen or container plant. Plant in well-drained soil and give occasional water.
