Agave celsii Nova forms a lovely solitary rosette with soft blue leaves. It is more tolerant of heat, sun and cold than it appears, making it a nice choice in the succulent landscape. Like all agaves, it must be acclimated slowly to full sun and may experience some sunburn when being moved from one location to another. If so, this damage will grow out and be replaced with clean new leaves.

Reference note: The species Agave celsii is now classified botanically as Agave mitis. This cultivar, which may be a hybrid, is still commonly referred to as Agave celsii ‘Nova’ in the nursery trade.
