Agave 'Cream Spike' is a variegated, low-growing agave, bearing olive-green leaves with a cream margin, and dark brown spines.
While regarded by many as an indoor or seasonal plant for growing outdoors in summer, 'Cream Spike' is said to be able to survive temperatures down to -8°C. It eventually forms an enormous rosette of stiff, dangerously pointed leaves.
Grow Agave 'Cream Spike' in well-drained soil in full sun. Protect from winter wet, alternatively grow in containers which you can move indoors in autumn.
