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.
