Hardy Agave americana 3L Pot A stunning & striking architectural plant that suits modern garden designs, especially when planted up into a metallic pot. This tough succulent really thrives on neglect, & is surprisingly hardy in the UK as long as they're kept dry. It is a striking specimen & very slow growing over here & therefore very long lasting. After 20 -30 years they may flower
- unleashing huge 3-5m tall flower spikes in a last act of bravado, as after flowering they die. However, there are normally lots of 'pups' round the side by then, which immediately take its place. Grow in a very free draining mix with plenty of sand or gravel (up to 50% mix with compost). Once potted, you can leave them to it for at least 5-10 years. Warning
