Plant in full sun in a moderately well-drained soil with only occasional to infrequent irrigation required. Looks tropical but can tolerate temperatures without damage to around 12° F.

This plant, thought to possibly be a naturally occurring hybrid between Agave salmiana and Agave americana var. protoamericana, was named by Wade Roitsch of Yucca Do Nursery, who spotted the plant on a collecting trip east of Ciudad del Maiz in San Luis Potosi, Mexico in 2001. The original plant produced few offsets and these only when it was young. Thankfully, Yucca Do put the plant into a laboratory micropropagation (tissue culture) program at Shady Oaks Nursery in Waseca, Minnesota and shared it with a few other nurseries like us in 2006. From the original tissue culture plants we vegetatively propagated this plant and sold it from 2006 until 2014. and we now propagate this plant in our nursery by vegetative means. We had a large attractive specimen of this plant growing near our greenhouses and all who saw this plant commented very favorably about it. This plant flowered in 2018 and plants we sold as Agave 'Mr. Ripple' from 2019 until the nursery closed in 2025 were seedlings of this self-pollinated plant. 

The information displayed on this page about Agave 'Mr. Ripple' is based on the research we have conducted about it in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about this plant as it grows in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant have performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we have received from others and welcome hearing from anyone with information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information that will aid others to better grow it.
