Agave filifera - Thread-Leaf Agave

This Agave is also known as the 'Thread-Leaf Agave'. Cold hardy when mature. A neat form with slender yet spiky leaves, featuring hairs that look like 'threads' on each leaf margin.

This is a compact, growing medium-sized agave, which could reach 90cm in height and spread, though this would take quite a while.

When more mature, cold hardy to as low as -8*c, BUT will need a good free draining soil mix to survive a cold winter.

When they finally flower, the flower spike can be up to 3 meters. Clustered in dark pink to purple flowers for several months.

From my own collection stock plant.

Plant is in a 5cm pot. Well-established plant.
