Family
Agavaceae
Native
Mexico (North America)
Description
Agave Desmettiana ‘Quicksilver’ is a very striking rosette-forming Agave. This agave is a new color variation of Agave desmettiana. Quick Silver is distinguished by its bold and wide center stripe of creamy grey color, and the edges are of a medium green. It makes a stunning specimen plant with the graceful 2 feet long leaves, which curve upward and then out.
The mother plant will die after flowering, but new suckers from below the rosette perpetuate the plant.
Environment
Agaves need full sun and gritty soil that percolates easily. They can even do quite well when potted but use an unglazed clay pot that will allow evaporation of excess moisture.
Water needs are moderate to light depending upon the heat of the season but the Cactus should be allowed to dry out before irrigation
In growing season they benefit from the application of a granulated time release fertilizer that will provide nutrient to the plant.
Landscape Uses
Agave desmettiana 'Quick Silver' does great in containers or in the ground. This species grows on rocky outcrops, in grasslands or pampas, on plains and walls.Bestseller ranking
