Agave weberi (Weber Agave) - Medium sized rosette of fleshy, spine-tipped gray-green leaves with finely toothed margin to 4 to 5 feet tall by 6-10 feet wide. Bright yellow flowers on 20' branched stalks at maturity. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well draining soil. Hardy to 10° F. The neotype for this species is noted as from between Laredo and Catarina in Texas but an occurrence of a native planting is no longer known although there are many variants found as cultivated plants in arid areas of north-central and northeastern Mexico and South Texas. This selection is a graceful smaller growing plant with gray leaves that have only tiny marginal spines. Our original plants come from Rancho Soledad nursery.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery, in our own garden and in other gardens in the Santa Barbara area. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information about this plant, even if they disagree with what we have written.
