Our Agave Desmettiana, is an attractive, upright rosette shaped cactus for outside or in. Outside, it is fast growing and can get pretty big, from 2'- 3' tall and 3'-4' wide, usually, and some in really great spots can get up to 6' tall and 8' wide, with reports of flower stalks 10' tall with some nice yellow flowers. Inside, it will be nice and reasonable, staying much smaller rising out of the pot, a beautiful fountain of wide, pointy swords with tips that turn gracefully away, in soft, sage green with creamy yellow edges. The leaf edges sport teeny teeth, leaves ending in a pointy, reddish point. Lots of children will populate the bottom of the pot to cut off and make many new plants or you can leave them there for one big family.
