Description: Hybrid. Smooth, blue-green leaves; fluid shape reminiscent of a flickering flame. Lacks marginal teeth but terminates in a soft spine, making it more user-friendly than most agaves. Soft, arching rosette. Monocarpic (dies after flowering) but produces abundant offsets, creating flowing clumps over time. The flower spike, at 8-12 years, can reach 10-14 feet tall. Pale yellow blooms attract pollinators. Well-drained soil; protect from intense afternoon sun in hot climates. Ideal for containers, patio beds, and soft-structured modern xeric designs.
