Agave schottii var. treleasei (Trelease's Century Plant)

SunZone: 8-10, at least 10" tall Origin: USA

Open House/Web-Only! Agave schottii v. treleasei is one of those agaves with a sordid past, as well as present. A. schottii is a small agave with narrow upright blue-green 10" long leaves occuring on rocky outcrops in Arizona. The variety treleasei varies from the normal A. schottii by being a little larger with slightly wider leaves and like subway tunnels in large cities, it is often highlighted with irregular white markings. In form, imagine a porcupine with rigor mortis and you get the picture...it eventually forms a 2' wide mass of leaves. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
