Giant agave flowering spike starting - Juniper Level Botanic Garden
From high above our Southwest patio garden, you can get a good perspective of our latest agave to flower. This cross of Agave salmiana and Agave asperrima (scabra) is our largest agave to ever flower (7' tall x 12' wide). We're expecting the spike to reach at least 25' before it begins to open in late June or early July.
