Agave ‘Mr. Ripple’ is an unusual looking, big Agave displaying large, broad, very undulating bluish olive-green leaves with a soft, satiny finish. Leaf margins lined with jagged teeth. Seldom produces offsets. An easy care, drought tolerant plant that is great in landscapes and containers or can adapt as a houseplant. Provide a well drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season.

A selection from Yucca Do Nursery that makes a dandy container plant in our climate. Very wide blue-green leaves have a wavy undulation that makes this a stand-alone focal point of any container arrangement. Eventually at ultimate happiness somewhere else, a 5'x5' plant.
