Agave macroacantha Blue Ribbon Penstemon even for the small gardenAgave 'Blue Ribbon' is an elegant selection of Agave macroacantha, which hails from the Mexican state of Puebla, where it forms tight, suckering 1' tall x 18" wide rosettes of blue finger like leaves, each tipped with a wicked terminal black spine. This wonderful form adds another layer of beauty with a creamy edge around each leaf simply splendid! In areas where it isn't winter hardy, Agave macroacantha 'Blue Ribbon' makes a superb container specimen.
