Agave Salmiana var. ferox

from $124.99

Agave salmiana var. ferox – Ferocious Agave: A Glossy Desert Beast

Agave salmiana var. ferox, or Ferocious Agave, a desert titan with a glossy edge. This Mexican native forms a stunning rosette of shiny, dark green leaves, growing 4-6 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, with each broad, lance-shaped leaf edged in fierce reddish-brown spines that pack a punch. Its compact, solitary form and ferocious spination make it a jaw-dropping focal point for any landscape, with a glossier vibe than its salmiana kin.

Care Snapshot:

•  Sun: Full sun fuels its fire—6+ hours daily to amplify its glossy sheen and red spine glow. Light shade works but dulls its drama.

•  Water: Drought-hardy—water deeply every 2-3 weeks in summer, letting soil dry out completely. In winter, water sparingly or skip it.

•  Soil: Demands well-drained soil—cactus mix or sandy gravel keeps its roots rot-free and thriving.

Perfect for rock gardens, xeriscapes, or massive pots, this agave thrives in USDA zones 8-11, shrugging off dry cold to 15°F (-9°C)—protect from wet freezes. After 15-30 years, it may send up a 15-30-foot spike of yellow-green flowers, a grand monocarpic finale. Place away from paths; spines are sharp, and sap can irritate pets or skin. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it’s a bold choice for water-wise gardens with a fierce twist.
