Notes

Mezcal agave/espadin (Agave angustifolia) is a succulent for containers, accents, and dry gardens. 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 or part sun. Long, sword-like leaves come in silver-blue to powder blue. It is a large-growing century plant, so give it space. Yellow flowers open in early to late summer.

Pairs well with Cycad, Paintbrush, and Lemon grass.
