Perfect for patio containers or small planting spaces, Spider Agave grows one to two feet tall and wide. The flexible, spineless, lime green leaves twist and arch, providing a unique silhouette. Older specimens often generate new plants from rhizomes or the leaf axils, resulting in a wide-spreading mound of individual agaves. It is native to the Mexican states of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
