Product Description

Agave ornithobroma is a small, compact agave species with slender, gray-green leaves that form an elegant, low-growing rosette. Each leaf is smooth-edged, lacking prominent spines, and tapers to a fine point, giving the plant a delicate appearance. This drought-resistant succulent hails from Mexico’s Sonoran Desert, where it thrives in rocky, arid soils. When mature, it produces a tall flower stalk adorned with clusters of greenish-yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and other pollinators. Its understated elegance makes Agave ornithobroma ideal for container planting or xeriscaping in small spaces.
