Wicked Green Plant of the Week………….Agave geminiflora
Agave Geminiflora….aka Twin-Flowered Agave
Fun garden sculpture, great color
This is a great for a small garden focal point, alone or a small cluster of them. They are (usually) symmetrical spheres and add texture and interest. A living sculpture.
Best Feature: green and some red/purple (when young) evergreen foliage, nice round shape, low maintenance, drought tolerant
From : Mexico
Preferable Places : Sunset Zones 13, 20-24, H1; USDA Zones 9a-11
Looks : 2-3 feet tall and wide
Personality : evergreen, can easily be the center of attention and doesn’t need much water or maintenance
Likes : full sun or partial shade, good drainage
Issues : edges of leaves can be sharp, best to not plant next to walkway, will die after flowering but that takes several years
