Agave weberi (Weber Agave) - Medium-sized rosette of fleshy, spine-tipped gray-green leaves with finely-toothed margins to 5 to 6 feet tall by 6-10 feet wide. Bright yellow flowers flower 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 came from Rancho Soledad nursery.
The information on this page is based on research about this plant that is conducted in our nursery library, from online sources, as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in the nursery, in the nursery's garden and in other gardens where we have observed it. We also incorporate comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from those who may have additional information, particularly if this information includes additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Agave weberi.
