The Narrow Leaf Agave, or Caribbean Agave, is native to Mexico and Central America. It is used to make mezcal and is also used as an ornamental plant. A medium-sized Agave with a dense rosette with a round outline. Mature plants can develop a short trunk 1 to 2 feet tall that is usually hidden until plants grow larger. They have 2-foot-long leaves which are fairly stiff and narrow (2-4 inches) and slightly concave towards the middle. They will tolerate more water during the growing season, as long as the soil is well-drained. Their bright, tropical appearance makes them perfect for planting in transitional zones between hot dry areas to more shaded or protected locations near patios or entryways.
