Notes
'Cream Spike' American century plant (Agave 'Cream Spike') is a succulent for containers, specimen planting, rock gardens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Birds, bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit it.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and California poppy.
