Agave potatorum. Flowering now at Towerkop Nursery.

Agave potatorum

Sadly this means the Mother plant will perish after flowering but it has produced numerous pups during it’s lifetime.

I had to protect this plant from afternoon direct sun in the Karoo, but otherwise this small, compact Agave is hassle-free to grow.

Agave potatorum is used to make a mexican wine called pulque.
