Agave leopoldii Spike Sarracenia The 1' tall stalks emerge

The 1' tall stalks emerge in late winter

Each flower has darker pink keels on the petal backs

but our garden plants only reach a meager 9' in height

We find Scutellaria serrata a superb addition to the woodland garden for providing color after most spring ephemerals have faded

making the leaves thicker and the margins much wider

Agave leopoldii Spike Sarracenia The 1' tall stalks emergeThis deliciously wicked little century plant is a 2026 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of our selection of a compact, dwarf form of Agave x leopoldii (Agave filifera v. filifera x Agave filifera v. schidigera). Agave 'Spike' forms a 6" tall x 8" wide clump of 0. 25" wide bayonet like, dark green leaves, each edged with a creamy white border, then covered in curly white hairs. Growing this gem is a bit like having a pet porcupine, so handle with care.
