Agave isthmensis Ippongi Cheilanthes heavily textured leafletsAgave 'Ippongi' is one of those exquisite century plants that causes visitors to stop in their tracks and swear it was created by AI. The stunningly beautiful 6" tall x 1' wide non offsetting rosette is composed of thick, powder blue, beautifully patterned leaves with completely smooth margins, and cinnamon terminal spines. Despite having less teeth than a meth head, it's prized as a container plant where is isn't winter hardy.
