Agave geminiflora 'Twin Flowered Agave'

Agave geminiflora is a pin-cushion type agave that features numerous narrow, fine-textured, unarmed but needle-tipped, dark green leaves which spread outward from the center of the plant to form a dense, rounded, symmetrical rosette rising to 2-3’ tall. Leaves are straight and stiff when grown in full sun but tend to arch in shady conditions.

These plants may be grown in containers (cactus-type potting mix) that are overwintered indoors in full sun locations with minimal watering. Best growth occurs when the container is only slightly larger than the foliage rosette. Container plants may also be grown indoors year round. Very useful as a house plant specimen!
