Growing Info

Scarification: None required, soaking the seed for 24h is optional.

Stratification: none required

Germination: Surface sow on a very well draining medium the seed and cover lightly with a thin layer (1-2mm or the thickness of the seed) of sand. Gently mist the medium to settle the seed. Do not cover with plastic or glass. Ideal temps are 75-90F for day and 60-70F for night. Germination should be within a few of weeks.

Other: Once seedlings have a few true leaves and are large enough to handle (usually a few months in), pot them individually into small pots with a well-draining succulent mix. Keep in a bright light environment and once established in the new pots, they should be able to take full sun.

Discover the striking allure of Agave utahensis var. eborispina, an extraordinary addition for collectors and garden enthusiasts alike. Known as Long Spine Utah Agave, this rare, clump-forming variety hails from select localities in Nevada and California, making it a truly unique find. With its captivating long, ivory-colored spines that elegantly twist, and dark green, heavily toothed leaves ranging from 4 to 8 inches, this agave is a visual masterpiece. Thriving in full sun, it reaches a mature height of 1-2 feet and width of 1-3 feet, flaunting an excellent form with thick marginal and remarkably wavy tip spines.

Ideal for USDA Zones 9a-13b, this hardy agave can withstand temperatures as low as 20-25 degrees F. Its distinct characteristics, like the elongated spines with marginate features, add a refined touch to any arid landscape design. Easily cultivated in well-drained soil with minimal watering, be careful with excessive water or fertilizer that may alter spine shaping.
