The Resilient Succulent Agave are a group of super tough, long-lived succulents, characterized by their striking, generally spiny forms. These are truly easy-to-grow plants, showing excellent resistance to both heat and cold. They thrive in bright conditions and will generally tolerate full sun once slowly acclimated. Agave are highly drought-tolerant and can often handle significant rainfall, though extended wet periods may occasionally cause minor leaf damage.
