📌 Product Description

Agave geminiflora is a striking architectural succulent known for its dense spherical rosette of narrow, dark green leaves lined with distinctive white curling fibres. Unlike many agaves, it has no large terminal spine, making it safer for high-traffic areas while still offering dramatic structural impact.

Its fine, upright foliage creates a sculptural focal point in modern, water-wise landscapes. Mature plants eventually produce a tall flowering spike bearing clusters of creamy-yellow flowers.

A hardy, drought-tolerant agave perfectly suited to contemporary South African gardens and container planting.
