Agave triangularis

Description: Slow-growing, short-stemmed, seldom flowering; When this agave matures, its leaves are stout and clustered together, creating a starburst effect.

Cultivation and Propagation: Agave triangularis is a relatively easy-to-grow species. Need a very well-drained, soil. It is theoretically hardy to -7°C, particularly when dry. It grows fairly fast in summer if provided with copious water but allows to dry thoroughly before watering again. During the winter months, one should only water enough to keep the leaves from shriveling. They do well in full sun or a lightly shaded area. Plants cultivated outdoors are drought tolerant and takes blasting heat and full sun.

Water Requirements: Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater
Sun Exposure: Full Sun
Propagation Methods: By dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms or bulbs (including offsets)
From seed; direct sow after last frost
