Agave nashii
In 2016, on an expedition to the southern Bahamas, we were able to collect this dramatic agave. A well-represented genus in the Bahamas, Agave nashii is only known from the edge of the Pygmy Forest of southeastern Great Inagua. Readily identifiable, this species is noteworthy for its pastel colors, distinctive leaf impression patterns and small stature. Because it lends itself to propagation by producing offshoots, this species holds real potential for xeric âlow-moistureâ landscaping. It is very well adapted to South Florida conditions and is drought tolerant. Prefers full sun and well-draining soil. (Pot size: 3 gallon)
