Sharkskin Agave

Sharkskin Agave offers a refined, architectural presence perfect for modern landscapes. Its sturdy, blue-green leaves have a smooth, slightly textured surface reminiscent of sharkskin, forming a dense, symmetrical rosette. Growing up to 2 feet tall and spreading 3 feet wide at maturity, this evergreen succulent makes a striking focal point in containers, rock features, or among flowering perennials in flower beds. The thick foliage holds its shape year-round, adding sculptural interest and bold color even in challenging conditions.
