Black-Spined Agave

Black-Spined Agave delivers a striking contrast with its narrow, pointed leaves and glossy black spines. It reaches just 1.5 feet in height and up to 2 feet in spread, making it a prime choice for pots, rockeries, or planting among boulders. The leaf surfaces are a muted blue-green with a powdery bloom, and each leaf ends in a bold black spine, giving it a high-contrast look with sculptural appeal. Its compact size and dramatic silhouette make it ideal for repeating along paths or border edges for rhythm and contrast.
