The Agave Nigra aka the 'Sharkskin' Agave is an absolutely stunning and structural Agave.
Characterized by thick upright greyish-Green leaves, triangular in shape; evenly spaced they typically are smooth to the touch and have smooth margins, although a very sharp terminal spine is still present.
Very slow growing but it does produce offsets.
Please Note: Succulents change colour throughout the year and the plants we deliver can look different from the pictures. All plants are shipped bare root (without soil).
