Agave
Agave provides a unique structural element in the landscape. In winter, when most plants are losing their appeal, agave remains an attractive feature in the overall design. From the large century plants to short, squatty species that grow to less than 2 feet in size, there are numerous species and varieties to choose from. Here in Central Texas, they are a wonderful, nocare plant that adds a dramatic western flair. Most species need full sun and a location away from pedestrian traffic as the pointed leaves are very sharp!
