Agave flexispina
Y10-24 — Zone 8a to 10— Mexico
This somewhat small agave is native to the grama grasslands in the states of Chihuahua and Durango, Mexico at elevations around 3000' to 5000'. The plant has an open habit with comparatively few leaves. The leaves are broad and somewhat channeled inward and are generally glaucous green with the margins of the leaves lined with large teeth that are brown to black in color and tend to curve downward.
This species can sometimes have difficulty during extended rainy events. Drainage is critical in regions of high humidity.

Notes and observations about this plant
- Agave flexispina by Curtis
- My Agave flexispina is growing in full sun in my parkway. It gets brutal, hot sun from sun up to sun down and has put on steady growth. It also easily withstood Dallas' coldest winter on record without losing one leaf. (Posted on 8/16/10)
