Product Description

The Agave xylonacantha is a dramatic, medium-sized succulent admired for its unique rosette of slender, sword-like leaves. These grayish-green leaves are edged with large, sharp, hooked spines, resembling jagged teeth, which make the plant both bold and defensive in appearance. Its name means "wooden spine," a nod to the robust, woody texture of its spines. When mature, it produces a towering flower spike up to 4 meters tall, with clusters of greenish-yellow blooms. Ideal for xeriscaping, this drought-tolerant succulent thrives in arid landscapes, adding architectural flair.
