Agave chiapensis

Chiapas Agave! This relative of Agave celsii from the state of Chiapas, MX is superficially similar in appearance to it, but the leaves tend to be broader and stouter. The teeth on the margins of the leaves are also larger than those of A. celsii and are more prominently black in color. Overall the plant has a stouter, more symmetrical appearance. This moderate sized plant with its slightly prickly, but non-lethal teeth is very suitable for container culture. Though it is from Chiapas, it has some frost tolerance.
