Native to North America
Native to Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico.
The leaves are grey green and have a spine at the tip. One of the distinguishing
features is that the point on the tip, which is typically dark tan, brown, or
black, is darker than the leaf. Indentations of previous leaves show on the back
of each leaf. The Huachuca variety grows in a rosette pattern as large as 2˝
feet in diameter.
Aged agave produce a twelve-foot stalk with bright yellow blooms. They then die
after blooming, as all leaf and root resources are put into the stalk, flowers,
and seeds. It can be propagated by either offset or seed.
