What are these plants?
On Bailey trail between the two crossings of St Charles there are 6 or 7 of these huge bushes on the west side. They are green with yellow edges and look like they have sharp edge. They sort of look like the sword plant or aloe vera I know from the north but these are curved in a sort of bowl shape. They are not century plants or agaves. They are really striking, and I would love to know what they are. Please if you can identify them from my description, let me know.
Thanks! Last edited by rosygail; 07-16-2013 at 09:04 AM. |

I love those plants and plan on getting one when I find out where to get them. I like that they are unique and not everybody has one in their yard. I tried to find out the name by googling the description, but got nowhere.

Rosygail, if anything has a sharp edge, think twice about getting it. My arms were always bloody after weeding the bed. the weeds always grew right in the middle of the plant. It's like falling in love with a physically beautiful person only to find, with time, they can hurt you. Then they don't seem as beautiful.

sounds like an agave; there are two common ones here.....bluish green solid color, and onces with a cream/yellow edge that are more curvy.

Would someone please post a picture or two so the rest of us on TOTV know what you are talking about?
Thanks, Z

I'd gladly drive over there & snap a pic or two, but I'm not exactly in the "neighborhood".
The OP says they are not agaves, but they must be something similar. Surely TV wouldn't plant pandanus (screwpine), since they wouldn't be winter hardy there.

If they look like this, they are just as rosygail stated.....agave Americanus.

Thanks for the pictures. These plants are all over the TV. Pretty common around here. I thought we were looking for something unique.
