Agave Lipstick 130mm

The Agave ‘Lipstick’ is a rare and captivating succulent that instantly elevates any plant collection with its dramatic form and bold coloring. This compact agave forms neat rosettes of broad, fleshy leaves in shades of blue-green to gray-green. What makes it truly unique are the vivid red to burgundy edges along each leaf, giving it the appearance of being outlined in lipstick.

Its symmetrical growth and eye-catching margins make it perfect for container gardening, rock gardens, or as a focal point in a xeriscape landscape.
