Notes

'Black and Blue' American century plant (Agave titanota 'Black and Blue') is a succulent for containers, rock gardens, and focal points. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun. Its compact rosettes have thick, short, wide, gray-blue leaves edged with prominent black teeth. It grows slowly, so it stays a tidy size.

Pairs well with Lemon Coral sedum, Purple sage, and African daisy.
