This genus is made up of about 40-50 slow growing, rosette forming or woody-based perennials (some species monocarpic), evergreen shrub and erect, eventually spreading, evergreen trees within the Agavaceae family. \u00a0They naturally occur in hot, dry, places, such as deserts, and dunes, and plains, in North and Central America and the West Indies. \u00a0They are grown for their bold, sword shaped, neatly or loosely rosette leaves, and for their erect or rarely, pendent panicles of bell to cup shaped to hemispherical, cream or white flowers. \u00a0Use as architectural specimens in a boarder or courtyard, or in containers. \u00a0Where not hardy, grow as a houseplant.<\/p>\n
Under glass, grow in soil based potting mix in full light. \u00a0When in growth, water moderately and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly. \u00a0Water sparingly in winter. \u00a0Outdoors, grow in any well-drained soil including poor sandy soil, in full sun. \u00a0Remove spent flowering stems.<\/p>\n
