Narrow Leaf Century Plant

Agave Striata
This plant is in a 3" pot.

Hailing from the Sierra Madre Orientale mountain range in northeast Mexico. Easy to grow century plant looks quite different from the wider leaf types with its narrow, rounded, grey-green, knitting needle-like leaves that are quite stiff and delightfully painful.....Be sure to have your friends admire this plant closer. The initial rosettes will become 18" tall x 3' wide, but after the 8' tall flower stalks finish in midsummer, the rosette branches and continues to grow, eventually creating a stack of porcupine-like balls. I have read reviews of some people growing this outside in a zone 7, if kept dry. This little baby is staying in the Death Valley Shack, not putting this plant out till late Spring.
