Mitis Agave (Agave mitis): A Soft-Leaved, Clumping Agave

Agave mitis, the Mitis Agave or Mitis Century Plant, is a distinctive agave with soft, flexible, bright green leaves that lack marginal teeth, having only a small terminal spine. Its leaves arch gracefully outward, giving the rosette a relaxed, fountain-like appearance. It suckers freely, forming attractive colonies. This Mexican native is more tolerant of moisture and shade than many agaves, making it versatile in gardens.
