Agave filifera
Agave filifera
Also known as the ‘Thread-Leaf Agave’. This plant has a neat form with slender spiky leaves, featuring hairs on each leaf margin.
This is a tight compact growing medium sized agave that is capable of reaching 90cm in height and spread. Once mature, it is capable of withstanding cold temperatures as low as -8*c, but will need a good free draining soil mix to survive a cold winter.
Like all Agave, they will appreciate regular feeding in the growing season.
This Agave can be a very dramatic when it eventually flowers producing a 3-metre flower spike that is heavily clustered in dark pink to purple flowers for several months.
