Agave Verschaffeltii Minima 130mm

Agave Verschaffeltii Minima, also known as the Dwarf Butterfly Agave, is a stunning miniature variety renowned for its tight, symmetrical rosettes and distinctive variegated leaf markings. Its broad, slightly recurved leaves are adorned with striking patterns in shades of green, grey, and soft cream margins, often edged with delicate spines that give it a bold, sculptural appearance.

This compact agave is ideal for small containers, rock gardens, or as a feature plant in succulent displays. Its slow-growing habit makes it a perfect choice for collectors looking for an elegant, low-maintenance accent plant with architectural appeal.

Unlike its larger relatives, Agave Verschaffeltii Minima stays petite, making it suitable for balconies, patios, and indoor bright spots where space is limited.

• Dwarf, compact form ideal for small spaces and pots

• Symmetrical rosette with beautifully marked, variegated leaves

• Bold sculptural appearance with subtle spines on leaf edges
