MBN 1Gal Agave angustifolia 'Marginata'

Curved, narrow, toothed upright leaves, light jade green, with clean ivory white margins. Usually seen as a 1-2' tall landscape specimen it can reach 3-4', and quickly with any supplemental watering. It will offset a few pups but they usually wait to develop until after the mother rosette blooms. Flower spikes can reach to over 10' tall and 3' across, usually reaching peak bloom in late summer. This species is commonly seen enjoying life in deeply tropical climates (Jakarta) as well as here in cool Northern California (Capitola) and can take frost to around 20°F. It seems to grow and sucker more aggressively in hotter/wetter climates. The sap of this species is especially irritating, take care to cover eyes and skin when trimming or removing any green tissue. Sun to part shade (less variegation), almost no summer watering. This apparently northerly form can take frost to at least 25°F, possibly lower. USDA zone 9
