Revered for its intricate leaf patterns and captivating structure, this agave species brings an architectural beauty to any landscape. Its leaves boast a blue-gray color, featuring prominent white margins and spines that add a touch of drama to the plant.The ‘Swordfish’ variety has a relatively moderate growth rate, reaching up to 2-3 feet in height and width at maturity. It thrives best in well-draining soil and requires minimal water once established, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping. These specimens are grown from tissue culture. Agave xylonocantha 'Swordfish' has performed wonderfully in our trial garden here in the Mohave Desert, weathering extreme heat, drought and freezing temperatures without any signs of stress.Given its unique aesthetic and low maintenance requirements, the Agave xylonocantha ‘Swordfish’ serves as both a conversation piece and a durable addition to your outdoor space.Good drainage is very essential for this plant to thrive. It needs low amounts of supplemental water once established. Irrigate by watering deeply and then allowing the top several inches of soil to dry between waterings. This encourages the plant to send roots deep into the earth in search of moisture, helping it to become established, prevent root rot, build drought tolerance, and resilience to heat and cold. The length of time between waterings will vary depending on your growing conditions and environment.These plants are sold for the purposes of ornamental cultivation.
