Agave macroacantha, also known as the black-spined agave or large-thorned agave, is a succulent plant found in Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. It has a medium-sized leaf rosette with greyish green leaves that can grow up to 1.8 feet long and end in sharp black spines. The plant produces small grey and red flowers on tall stems up to 10 feet in height. It thrives in dry, sunny and hot conditions in the summer and cooler, well-lit areas in the fall. It requires regular watering in the summer and minimal watering in the winter, and can be grown in a large pot with gravelly soil. This plant has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in the UK.
