Agave titanota 'Black and Blue'
The Black and Blue Agave presents a striking compact form, featuring dense rosettes reaching approximately one foot in diameter. Its defining characteristics include thick, pale blue-gray foliage contrasted by nearly black marginal teeth that create dramatic visual interest. As specimens mature, they naturally offset to develop attractive clustered formations. This species thrives in full sun with minimal water requirements and well-draining soil, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping applications. Winter hardiness extends to approximately -4°C (25°F), allowing cultivation in cooler climates where tender succulents typically struggle.
