Agave Trade Winds

Agave ‘Trade Winds’ is an exceptional hybrid variety known for its graceful, symmetrical rosette and soft silvery-blue to powdery green leaves. Each leaf tapers to a gentle point and may feature subtle marginal teeth and occasional imprints from neighbouring leaves, adding to its textured beauty. Unlike more aggressively spined agaves, ‘Trade Winds’ offers a more refined silhouette, making it ideal for both indoor containers and outdoor feature planting.

This drought-tolerant succulent is slow-growing and well-suited to collectors who appreciate elegant form and rare cultivars. It adds architectural structure to succulent arrangements and requires minimal maintenance once established.

Key Features:

• Soft, wide leaves with a powdery blue to green finish

• Symmetrical, rounded rosette form

• Gentle marginal teeth and minimal terminal spines

• Great for feature pots, succulent gardens, or minimalist landscaping

• Drought-tolerant and highly ornamental

Care Tips:

• Light: Full sun to partial shade. Best colour and shape in bright conditions.

• Watering: Water thoroughly but infrequently. Allow soil to dry between watering.

• Soil: Fast-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential.

• Temperature: Warm climates preferred (15–32°C). Protect from frost.

• Fertilizer: Light feeding during spring and summer with diluted succulent fertilizer.

• Growth Habit: Slow-growing, solitary or with few offsets.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
