The Agave bracteosa is a beautiful evergreen perennial succulent.
A slower growing, smaller sized Agave, it is characterized by narrow mid-Green flexible recurving leaves, hence it's common name of the 'Squid Agave'.
Typically a solitary rosette, although offsets may occur. No spines or terminal point is present, only small serrations along the leaf margins.
Very cold hardy down to around -13 degrees this Agave is great for coastal gardens, exotic gardens and city gardens alike, it's unique silhouette making it a wonderful architectural addition.
