About
Agave toumeyana is a small agave native to the dry mountains and slopes of Arizona, USA. Slender green leaves gather densely into a compact rosette, with white thread-like filaments crowding the leaf margins and surfaces for a delicate, beautiful look. The subspecies bella in particular stays smaller and produces denser filaments, giving it high ornamental value and popularity among collectors. Originating in high-elevation drylands, it is cold-hardy and comparatively tolerant of cold. Grow in a fast-draining mix in a sunny, airy spot. Water only after the soil has dried completely and reduce watering in winter to avoid excess moisture. Small and slow-growing, it is well-suited to container culture and growing in limited spaces.
