Description

ZONE: 8 - 11 LIGHT: Sun HEIGHT: 1 - 3ft WIDTH: 2 - 3ft SOIL: Any, well-drained FLOWER: Yellow on 6-12ft stem An Agave species found only in the Chihuahuan Desert, where it is an indicator species. It typically grows on calcareous soils. The plant flowers once in its life, then it dies. The flowers are a source of nutrients for insects, bats, and some birds. The leaves are long, tough, and rigid, with very sharp, hard points which can easily penetrate clothing and even leather, giving the colloquial name "shin-daggers". The water stored in the flowering stalks of this plant, rich in salts and minerals, is sold in Mexico as a sport drink.
