Agave leopoldii Spike Astilbe The 2' tall flower spikesThis deliciously wicked little century plant is a 2026 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of our selection of a compact, dwarf form of Agave x leopoldii (Agave filifera v. filifera x Agave filifera v. schidigera). Agave 'Spike' forms a 6" tall x 8" wide clump of 0. 25" wide bayonet like, dark green leaves, each edged with a creamy white border, then covered in curly white hairs. Growing this gem is a bit like having a pet porcupine, so handle with care.
