Agave Dragon Toes
Agave 'Dragon Toes' is a small, well-behaved hybrid agave that packs a lot of visual impact into a manageable size. Its broad, blue-green leaves form a tight rosette and are edged with smooth margins accented by dark reddish teeth and a terminal spine, giving the plant its “dragon-like” appearance. Ideal for pots, small gardens, or modern xeriscapes, this agave combines toughness with ornamental appeal.
Key Characteristics:
- Foliage: Thick, fleshy blue-green leaves with dark reddish tips and marginal teeth.
- Growth Habit: Symmetrical, compact rosette with a bold architectural form.
- Size: Typically reaches 30–45 cm tall and wide.
- Texture: Smooth to touch with contrasting sharp points for dramatic effect.
Care Tips:
- Light: Thrives in full sun to part shade. Full sun enhances the leaf colour and form.
- Watering: Very drought-tolerant. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A gritty cactus or succulent mix is best.
- Temperature: Heat-tolerant and moderately frost-hardy. Protect from extended frost.
- Fertilising: Minimal feeding required. Use a diluted succulent fertiliser in spring if desired.
- Maintenance: Very low-maintenance. Remove any old or damaged leaves as needed.
Agave 'Dragon Toes' is more than just a succulent—it's a piece of living art. Whether planted in the ground or displayed in a pot, this agave is sure to attract attention and spark conversation, making it a prized addition to any plant collection.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
