Blue Wave Agave (Agave gypsophila)

Genus:Agave (a-GAH-vee)
Species:gypsophila (jip-SOF-il-uh)

Cultivation Notes

Prefers bright light to part shade and well-draining soil. More tolerant of moisture than some agaves but still requires good drainage. Protect from hard freezes. The elegant, recurving leaves create a fountain-like effect.
