植物簡介
A large, evergreen succulent plant forming a stiff rosette of greyish green, yellow-margined leaves. The leaves are armed with hard spines along the margins and at the tip. Mature plants may produce a tall (2m) branched spike of yellow flowers. Makes a striking patio container plant but requires winter protection

Agaves are monocarpic and the main rosette will die after producing a very tall (2m) flower spike, however new offsets are produced at the base of the old rosette.

多肉石頭花園的禪意設計
石頭是花園裡最沉默的居民。它不需要澆水，不需要施肥，不會生病，不會凋謝。它只是存在著，以億萬年的耐心，在每一道光線的角度下展現不同的質地——清晨的石頭有露水凝結，午後的石頭在陽光中微微發燙，傍晚的石頭在長影之中顯得格外沉穩。
