Agave macroacantha 'Blue Ribbon' is a cultivar of the Agave macroacantha species, which is native to Mexico. The Blue Ribbon cultivar is known for its attractive blue-green leaves with sharp, dark spines along the edges. The leaves of this plant are thick and fleshy, and arranged in a rosette pattern.

As with most agave species, the Blue Ribbon variety is drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil. It should be watered sparingly and allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. This cultivar can grow up to 2-3 feet tall and wide, making it a great choice for a focal point in a succulent garden or container planting.

Like other agave species, Agave macroacantha 'Blue Ribbon' produces a tall flower stalk in the spring or summer, which can reach up to 10 feet tall and produce small, yellow-green flowers. After flowering, the plant typically dies back, but will often produce offsets or "pups" that can be propagated to create new plants.

Overall, Agave macroacantha 'Blue Ribbon' is a striking and hardy succulent that can add visual interest to a variety of settings, from a desert-themed garden to a modern indoor space.
