Design with this plant

Overview

The Agave geminiflora, or Twin Flowered Agave, adds unique texture with narrow, dark green leaves that can grow up to 2-3 feet long. This compact rosette reaches about 2-3 feet in height and width. Its striking, dense tufts are spineless, making it a user-friendly choice. A slow grower, this agave produces an impressive tall flower spike after many years. Prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and is drought-tolerant once established.
