AGAVES These fierce and outspoken plants were originally found only in the New World. Agaves are also the universal source of materials and products of the early mesoamericans. Paper, juice, food, clothing, pulque, you name it, an agave made it! (Tequila did not come about until the later introduction of the European Still.) Agaves range from the small and dainty Agave toumeyana bella to the mammoth agaves of the pulque industry. Click on thumbnails below to see full image! Be sure to check out our Collections Page. |

Agave americana 1gal The most well known of all the agaves. It becomes large with an overall spread of 6 to 8 feet. Its success is due to its robust nature and its worldwide distribution as an ornamental. Care must be taken when locating this plant as it can become aggressive. |

Here in the gardens, we have found this plant capable of growing in the rich California soil with stunning results. It reaches approximately 8'-10' in diameter, and is gentle and unarmed. Easy to propagate, it is bulbiferous, sending forth hundreds of small plantlets from its flower shaft. Zones 12-24 (Sunset Western) |

Agave xylonacantha 1gal Grows at 3000' on the limestone slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental and in several other Mexican desert regions. It has unusual, convoluted leaf margins and irregular spines.
