Agave horrida
D05-38 — Zone 9 to 10— Mexico
Papery tiger! The botanist Lemaire, who originally described this plant, gave it the specific name horrida because he though the plant was repulsive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we think it is one of the most attractive as well as one of the most bizarre. A small to moderate growing agave that has smooth thin leaves that are formidably armed with papery teeth. Many specimens have great bud imprinting and the overall shape of the plant is neat and symmetrical. Great for pots and sure to get many comments from visitors to your agave collection.
