How to Plant Agave americana subsp. protoamericana

Choose the Right Location

Select a spot that gets full sun. Allow room for a mature height of 5-6 ft. Plan for 6-8 ft spread.

STEP 2

Prepare the Soil

Well-drained, rocky or sandy

STEP 3

Plant Properly

Remove from the container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the surrounding soil. Backfill with amended soil and tamp gently to remove air pockets.

Water & Mulch

Water deeply after planting. Apply 2–3 inches of mulch, keeping it a few inches from the stem. Once established, this plant needs minimal supplemental watering.
