Agave Potatorum, also known as the Butterfly Agave or Mescal Agave, is a stunning succulent prized for its ornamental foliage and architectural presence. Native to Mexico, this species forms rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves with striking blue-green hues. The leaves often display delicate white markings and have serrated edges, adding to the plant's visual appeal. Agave Potatorum is relatively slow-growing and can eventually reach sizes of up to 2-3 feet in height and width. It thrives in well-draining soil and full sun.
