Agave Cream Spike

A charming and tiny variegated Agave, 'Cream Spike' is a highly ornamental evergreen succulent with small, solitary, rounded rosettes of blue-green leaves adorned with broad butter-yellow margins and dark brown spines. This Agave variety produces many offsets that can be easily pulled and re-planted elsewhere. It is perfect for small containers.

• Grows up to 4 in. tall (10 cm) and 6 in. wide (15 cm).

Keep in a frost-free area in winter and put it out on the patio or balcony in summer. Irrigate little to occasionally. Drought tolerant.
