How to Plant Agave americana subsp. protoamericana
Simple steps to get your Agave americana subsp. protoamericana established in your DFW yard.
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.
Prepare the Soil
Well-drained, rocky or sandy
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.
