'Truncata'

Uses:	A stunning plant for large containers or planted in a protected spot in the succulent garden.
Flowers:	The flower stalk is a 4 to 6 metre tall panicle with a stout, straight stalk and 20 to 36 slightly ascending branches on upper half of stalk. Flowers are pink to red in bud, opening various shades of yellow. The combination of the red and yellow blooms is very showy.
Growth Habit:	An uncommon Agave the rosettes are medium-sized, compact, glabrous, and glaucous-gray to light green. Rosettes are 15 to 75 cm high and 25 to 85 cm broad and sucker freely. As the new leaves unfold, they show a heavy imprinting from the other leaves they rest against in the bud that becomes more pronounced in larger plants.
