Agave ferdinand-regis

A compact agave with unique white stripes on its leaves. Solitary and slow growing and will work well planted in groups in large gardens. Make sure soil has appropriate drainage and plant in full sun. The plant due to its compact and showy nature works great as the centerpiece in a smaller garden.
