Succulent leaf rosette with thickened, lanceolate, bluish-grey shimmering leaves. The flowering stalk – which only grows after a number of years – is a panicle up to 9 metres in height with as many as 35 yellowish partial flowers on the upper third of the flowering stem.
The flower buds and leaves of the agave have a high sugar content. After removing the leaves, the sweet agave syrup can be collected from the stalk.
The impressive heat-loving agave adds to the variety of Mediterranean plants at the Tropenhaus.
