Agave weberi 'Arizona Star'

              Agave weberi 'Arizona Star'

This Agave was in need of a repot which also gave me the opportunity to remove some of the smaller plants growing around its base. Easier said than done when it comes to handling Agaves as it is often difficult not to damage the soft succulent leaves and get spiked in the handling process. The plain green form of this species has always been a slow grower for me so I was surprised at just how quickly this variegated form filled out the pot. Though it looks similar to an A americana the leaves are certainly much thinner and have that 'Grey Nurse' shark skin texture to them. 

This cultivar originates in the United States as the name suggests.

I don't have any plants of it for sale at present but will do at some stage in the future.
