'Agave stricta f. rubra' is a form of the species Agave stricta, which is part of the Agave genus. Agave stricta, commonly known as Hedgehog Agave, is a species of agave known for its narrow, upright leaves that form a dense, spherical rosette. The 'rubra' form specifically refers to a variant that displays a red or reddish coloration in its leaves, distinguishing it from the typical green forms. This particular form of Agave stricta is valued in horticulture and landscaping for its unique color and structural appearance. The reddish tones in the leaves can vary depending on various factors such as sun exposure, temperature, and soil conditions. Like other agaves, it is a succulent plant that prefers well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for xeriscaping and gardens in arid environments. Agave stricta f. rubra would typically produce a tall, central flower spike after many years, which is characteristic of agaves. After flowering, the plant usually dies, but it can produce offsets or "pups" that can be replanted. The plant is native to Mexico and adapts well to similar climates elsewhere.
