Origin
The Agave 'Shaka Zulu' is a hybrid plant species with its roots originating in Mexico. This succulent is a member of the Asparagaceae family, known for its rich diversity of species. They have been crossbred from various agave species to create the best characteristics and are renowned for their survival ability in extreme conditions.

Characteristics
The Agave 'Shaka Zulu' is a slow-growing plant that can develop impressive rosettes up to 60 cm wide. The leaves are grey-green in colour with a white edging and have a strikingly toothed pattern at the edges, from which they derive their warrior-like name. It is a monocarpic species, which means that it dies after flowering, but not before producing numerous offspring.

Care
For optimal growth, the Agave 'Shaka Zulu' needs plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil. It tolerates drought very well, so irrigation should be limited and carefully applied to avoid root rot. It is important to know that this plant is not resistant to severe winters and needs protection from frost. It is recommended to cultivate them in a planter which can be placed indoors during the coldest months.
