Agave nigra Shark Bite Aloe jet-black scapes emerge that contrastAgave 'Shark Bite' is a 2016 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a Hans Hansen creation from the popular Agave 'Sharkskin Shoes' (Agave nickelsiae x asperrima). Each 18" tall x 30" wide, slowly offsetting rosette of Agave 'Shark Bite' is composed of 18" long, thick, dark gray green leaves, each decorated with a variable 1 2 to 3 4" chartreuse margin. This is a superb selection that, like good wine, gets better with age.
