Agave 'Spot' is a plant for the new millennia: it's drought tolerant, dependably hardy in our climate and over-the-top showy, all in one easy-care succulent. Plant 'Spot' in freely draining soil in the warmest spot you can find so it plumps up to its full 16-inch leaf spread and sprouts white, fragrant flowers on tall spikes in summer.
