Agave stricta, also known as the hedgehog agave, is a flowering plant native to Southern Mexico. It grows up to 50cm tall and has narrow spiny leaves that produce reddish purple flowers in the summer. The plant is evergreen and may develop a red tinge in the summer. It is also known to produce pincushion-like offsets as it grows. This plant requires heated indoor culture during winter in temperate regions and prefers full sun and well-drained soils. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. However, overwatering can lead to root rot. The Latin specific epithet stricta refers to its upright growth habit.
