Agave ovatifolia
The Agave ovatifolia looks like an Agave parryi on steroids! At full maturity, it typically reaches heights of 3' with a width of 5' (appox. 5 years). Leaves tend to be symmetrical, wide and greenish-gray in color. Regarded as one of the best Agaves for cold, wet climates. It far outperforms almost all other species in this sense. Drought tolerant, but grows considerably larger when provided with regular irrigation.

The Cactus King's cacti and succulents have gone international! If you ever find yourself in China with a little spare time, head to the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. It is the largest Aquarium in the world (no big deal, pun definitely intended).
The Cactus King's plants are also featured in the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom's partner parks. These include their water park, amusement park, crocodile park and botanical gardens.
