Product Description

Agave kerchovei is a bold, upright Mexican species forming large, open rosettes of stiff, sword-shaped green to blue-green leaves, edged with conspicuous reddish-brown teeth and tipped with a strong terminal spine. The leaves often display subtle banding or imprinting, giving the plant a sculptural, armored look. Native to Oaxaca, this species thrives on rocky slopes and dry canyons, offering a dramatic, architectural presence perfect for wild-style xeriscaping and collectors of rugged agaves.
