Agave americana

This sculptural succulent features shimmering blue-green fleshy leaves and spreads vigorously, producing offspring that can emerge up to a meter away from the parent plant. This makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance, hardy, and drought-resistant gardens.

Due to its spiky leaves, it's best to plant this succulent alongside softer plants, such as ornamental grasses. The contrast in colour and texture enhances the visual interest in a Mediterranean-style garden.
