Agave isthmensis 'Dwarf Butterfly' – Compact Beauty with Sculptural Flair

Make a striking statement with Agave isthmensis 'Dwarf Butterfly', a compact and captivating succulent known for its tight rosette form and bold, blue-grey leaves edged with defined spines. This dwarf cultivar of the Butterfly Agave delivers architectural elegance in a manageable size—ideal for pots, small gardens, and minimalist indoor spaces.

 Key Features:

• Compact Beauty
Grows in tight, symmetrical rosettes with thick, fleshy leaves. Mature plants reach 12–18 inches wide—ideal for small spaces and containers.

• Sculptural Elegance
Blue-green leaves curve slightly and end in dramatic, sharp-tipped spines, adding texture and structure to any setting.

• Drought-Tolerant Powerhouse
Native to arid regions, this agave needs minimal watering and thrives on neglect once established.

• Effortless Care
Tough and resilient, it flourishes in full sun with well-draining soil—no fuss required.

 Care Instructions:

Sunlight: Loves full sun; provide bright, direct light to maintain compact growth and vibrant color.
Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Let soil dry out completely between waterings to prevent rot.
Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix; avoid heavy or moisture-retentive soils.

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.
