Drought tolerant once established, but looks best with periodic water in extreme heat. The mother plant declines after flowering; younger rosettes will perpetuate the plant. |
| Lore | Agave weberi produces a unique 15 to 20 ft. branched stalk cloaked with tiny yellow flowers at maturity. The mother plant will decline and die flowering but may be perpetuated with plantlets from the flower spike. |
