Monaco Hedgehog Agave

Agave stricta 'Monaco' is a distinctive succulent known for its perfectly spherical growth habit, resembling a hedgehog. It features hundreds of narrow, stiff, evergreen leaves that are often glaucous blue or green, ending in sharp terminal spines. Unlike many agaves, it is polycarpic, meaning it can bloom multiple times and forms dense colonies of rosettes over time. This architectural plant thrives in well-drained soil and is ideal for rock gardens or xeriscaping in warm climates.
