Upright agave with narrow, sword-like green leaves that can flush deep red under strong sun and stress, giving a dramatic, fiery appearance. Forms a medium-sized rosette that works well as a focal point in arid-style plantings and large containers. Needs full sun, very sharp drainage, and protection from severe or prolonged freezes, as well as careful handling due to sharp leaf tips and margins.
