Its long grey green leaves arch outward in a broad open rosette with smooth, essentially unarmed margins, so it can be planted where a spiny americana would be a liability. It still finishes in a hard terminal point, but the difference in handling is substantial. The clean architectural form and near total independence from irrigation make it a staple of modern low water landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Weber’s Agave\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth Leaf Margins\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unlike most large agaves the leaf edges carry no hooked teeth, which makes it far safer beside paths and seating.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad Open Rosette\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leaves arch rather than stand rigid, giving a softer, more fountain-like silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrey Green Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: A cool matte tone that sits well against rendered walls, corten steel and pale gravel.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold and Dry Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: It handles frost better than most large agaves and needs virtually no summer water once established.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffsets Freely\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pups form around the base, so the planting renews itself and spare plants are always available.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitectural Bed\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single rosette in gravel against a plain wall does the work of an entire border.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriveway and Verge\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tough enough for hot reflected positions with no irrigation and little maintenance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposed Coastal Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handles salt laden wind and sharp sandy soil without browning.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Pot Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suits a wide shallow container where the full rosette shape can be appreciated.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m when mass planted\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 to 3m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and autumn\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sharply drained sandy or gravelly soil; poor fertility is no obstacle, but heavy wet clay causes crown and root rot\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water monthly through the first summer to settle the roots, then stop almost entirely, since established plants are damaged more by irrigation than by drought. Allow for the mature spread of well over two metres at planting time, keep the terminal spines clear of walkways, and note that after many years the plant sends up a tall flowering panicle, sets seed and dies, leaving its offsets to carry on.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 to 1.5m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 2.5m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen succulent\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative to:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow, on a tall spike produced once at the end of the plant's life\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Direct","offers":[{"title":"400mm","offer_id":59795334070558,"sku":"ND-0091-400MM","price":800.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100L","offer_id":59795334103326,"sku":"ND-0091-100L","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/2536\/8862\/files\/oDxpYRx0QgvquokIKQIXt_nF0gpEhl.jpg?v=1787313542","url":"https:\/\/nurserydirect.com.au\/products\/agave-weberi","provider":"Nursery Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
