Description
This lovely Agave Potatorum was found in the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Agave potatorum is a small to medium-sized solitary Agave. It has broad gray leaves that form in an open symmetrical rosette up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall and 3 feet (90 cm) wide. The many up to 18 inch (45 cm) long leaves are slightly reflexed back near the tips with chestnut brown spines. The 1 inch (2.5 cm) long terminal spine is slightly wavy and the short marginal spines are on tubercle-like prominences. The flower spike can be up to 20 feet (6 m) long when fully developed and bears pale green and yellow flowers tinged with red and subtended with red bracts.
