Description

A striking Mexican agave that forms a compact symmetrical rosette of stiff, spiky leaves.

 The leaves have white marginal fibres and wide, very prominent white markings.

Sometimes the leaves can have a red tinge. 

Agave filifera ssp. schidigera is closly related to Agave filifera but with subtle difference in leaf structure.

This variety can tolerate moderate to severe freezes.
