{"product_id":"dragon-toes-agave-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Dragon Toes Agave - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eDragon Toes is a small agave that forms a dense rosette of powder-blue leaves edged with bold red teeth and tipped with sharp spines. The color contrast is striking up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt about 8 to 12 inches tall, it is ideal for containers, rock gardens and succulent displays. It is very drought tolerant and slow growing. Like other agaves, it takes many years to bloom, and the main rosette dies after flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThick, broad, pointed leaves in a soft powder blue form a dense, compact, symmetrical rosette. Each leaf edge carries evenly spaced, curved reddish teeth, and each tip ends in a sharp reddish-brown spine. Faint imprints of neighboring leaves show on the leaf surfaces. The rosette is 8 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide. The overall look is a chunky, powder-blue star outlined in red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike lavender, it wants full sun and sharp drainage, so set it in a container on a gravel patio or among the lavender beds for summer, where its blue-gray rosette echoes lavender's foliage, then move it indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in sandy or gravelly, very fast-draining soil and let it dry fully between waterings. Hardy in zones 9 to 11. In the Great Lakes region, grow it in a pot of fast-draining cactus mix and bring it indoors to a bright, cool window before frost; water deeply only when the soil is completely dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave pygmaea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarely flowers (once after many years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powder blue with red teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, compact rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–12 in tall × 12–24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9–11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
