Agave Lechuguilla

Agave lechuguilla, a resilient succulent native to the Chihuahuan Desert, is known for its striking rosette of narrow, spiky leaves with sharp tips. The green to grayish, serrated leaves grow up to 30cm in length, giving a rosette of between 0.5-1 metres.

Adapted to drought conditions, Agave lechuguilla thrives in dry, rocky terrains, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping. Whether trying it outdoors in the milder parts of the country, or enjoying it as a potted specimen that is brought undercover for winter, this drought-tolerant plant is ideal for sustainable landscaping and desert gardens.
