Agave impressa
Maguey Masparillo
Description
Agave impressa is a beautiful and unique succulent. It is characterized by its thick, fleshy leaves that are a vibrant green to bluish-green color, often with prominent imprints or impressions on the surface. The leaves are arranged in a compact rosette. This agave is relatively compact, making it suitable for container gardening or smaller spaces. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant. After many years, the plant produces a tall flowering stalk with yellow flowers, after which the plant dies. It is a great addition to a succulent collection or rock garden. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. Also, the plant is not frost hardy and needs protection.
