An Agave with countless slender leaves that spread out like a fountain, giving a light and airy feel to desert gardens. Although it resembles a Yucca, it doesn’t develop an elongated stem, so it works perfectly as ornamental grass at the front of plantings. Its Japanese name is “Fukiage,” but A. stricta is also commonly called “Fukiage,” making the distinction between them rather blurry….

The plant commonly known as “Striata” is the most widely distributed species across northern Mexico, growing up to around 60cm tall. I haven’t found a photo that is definitively labeled “this is ssp.striata!”, but compared to ssp.falcata, it generally appears much finer and lighter in form.
Agave striata f.minima
Agave striata 'Minima'
Agave striata 'Nana'
This is a compact species often called “Needle Agave” overseas. In Japan, it’s known by the name “Nana” and is also available here. It stays around 15cm tall.
A. striata ssp.striata f.minor
The plant known in Japan as “Hime Fukiage” is thought to be a dwarfed form of Striata, referred to as “minor.” It’s pronounced “Minor,” and for reference, it’s sometimes treated as a separate species from Nana (Minima).
Falcata. It’s said to have fewer, broader, and thicker leaves than Striata—but honestly, they look very similar.
“Stricta” looks even more like Striata than Striata’s own subspecies do! In fact, it has sometimes been classified as a subspecies of Striata ( A. striata ssp.stricta ), though at other times, it’s been considered distinct. Its range is much narrower, found mainly around the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico. When mature, it reaches about 50cm tall, making it a bit smaller than Striata.
お昼に地元の植物園のぞいてきたらアガベ（リュウゼツラン）咲いてました 植物園の方に聞くと「白閃光」という品種だそうです ブログで紹介されてた子はまだ花をつけてませんでした 「吹上」という品種だそうです この植物園、リュウゼツランの仲間がいっぱい✨ 今までアロエだと思ってました https://t.co/COYicbZO9q
Ya empezaron a germinar las primeras semillas del agave striata. Las sembré el viernes pasado. Nomás que estén más visibles (espero mañana) se las muestro. Ahora identifico una ya brotando y 3/4 montículos más a punto de emerger. https://t.co/3RIkfGL1dB
Mi primer plántula de agave striata emergiendo. Nunca antes había germinado agave. https://t.co/AoO6BI1IEL
姫吹上 最も危険なアガベ。 Hedgehog Agave とか呼ばれるけどヘッジホッグよりあぶねーよ多分。 こいついじってると棘との距離感分からなくなるから目とか気をつけてね。 気をつけるの俺か https://t.co/Fvju38J5V3
