Family agavaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers greenish Light sun Cultural notes well-drained soil From seed Germinates readily at room temperature with exposure to light detailed seed-starting info below Species sometimes considered synonymous with A. lophantha, but our seed-grown plants should be quite different from the fancier varieties of that species. From what I can tell, a fairly typical agave, with spiny green leaves (often with a lighter-colored midrib) and greenish flowers when it finally decides to bloom.
