This medium-sized agave grows slowly to a mature size of 3′-4′ tall by 4′-5′ wide. The wide glossy apple green to light green leaves have teeth that make an interesting imprint on the backside of the leaves. Each leaf ends in a sharp tip. Tolerates poor soil low water and cold. Does not produce pups so will not out grow its spot in the landscape.
