Agave Salmiana Ferox Habit and Cultural Information Category: Succulent Family: Agavaceae (now Asparagaceae) Origin: Mexico (North America) Evergreen: Yes Bloomtime: Infrequent Height: 4-6 feet Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Low Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 15-20° F May be Poisonous (More Info): Yes Agave salmiana var. ferox - A selection of Agave salmiana var. ferox that grows to 4 to 6 feet tall by the same width with wide dark green leaves that have strong yellow bands along the margins. Like its big brother Agave salmiana, this plant puts up a stout candelabra type inflorescence bearing yellow flowers that attract birds and bees. Plant in full sun and irrigate little to none in coastal climates. Not sure if it will prove as hardy as the green forms we grow but it was not harmed by temperatures down to the mid 20's ° F in the historical January 2007 freeze and likely can go lower - maybe to 15° F. We are also not sure where this cultivar originated but we got our first plant in 2007 from Ed Pencal's Cactus Mart nursery in Filmore California. The information on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery's garden and in other gardens that we have observed it in. We also will incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have additional information, particularly if this information is contrary to what we have written or includes additional cultural tips that might aid others in growing Agave salmiana var. ferox.
