Add item to quote to see pricing

Agave striata ssp. falcata is also known as the Needle-Leaf Hardy Agave, a fascinating and resilient specimen from the Cacti & Succulents family. This Mexican native is not only cold-hardy but also tantalisingly conspicuous with its spherical rosette of slender, needle-like leaves arching outward in an alluring dance. Each rich, deep green leaf is adorned with a unique pattern of horizontal white bands, culminating in a sharp, pointed tip. Flourishing in full sun and with a penchant for well-drained soil, this low-maintenance succulent stands up to 2 feet tall while keeping water usage minimal, thanks to its drought-tolerance. Whether it's the striking silhouette on a rock garden or container, or its enchanting yellow blooms shooting out from a tall, robust stalk in late summer, this versatile plant offers a fascinating visual appeal. With its frost resistance and vibrant personality, the Needle-Leaf Hardy Agave is a perfect addition to any landscape or garden seeking a bold and beautiful edge.
