 - Agave (Century Plant)
Agave bracteosa
- Hardy Succulent 
- bare-root division - $15.00
 
Soft leaves, no thorns - so unlike its kin, the Century Plants.  This is one of my favorite plants for a large outdoor container, since it NEVER needs to be watered (though you could water it once each month during the growing season).  Individual rosettes can grow to over 2' in diameter and they do eventually branch from below to form clumps.  Grows best with some protection from intense afternoon sun, in a location with good drainage.  Requires no supplemental irrigation once established.  Again, these are perfect plants for containers!

(Feed with 3 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
