Dasylirion longissimum

Agave spp.: characteristics and care

The Agave spp., popularly known as agave, encompasses various species of succulent plants native to the Americas, prized for their rosettes of fleshy, rigid leaves often ending in a spine, in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and textures.

Their sculptural form and extremely low maintenance make them a highly sought-after option for both xeriscaping gardens and for pots and cactus and succulent compositions.

They tolerate extreme drought and poor, stony soils very well, provided they have excellent drainage.

At Ornacom, we directly cultivate each specimen, guaranteeing a balanced form and healthy development from the first years of planting.
