Wednesday Vignette, the agave feature wall

While looking for something else nearby, I happened upon this agave feature wall...

For a time I worked in marketing at an architecture and interior design firm and I remember the feature wall being a thing. Usually it was just a wall spec'd to be a paint color different than the other three. I like this version better—done in service to making the agave stand out...

And what is that agave you may be wondering? I believe it's an Agave parryi of some type, I'm just not sure which one.

  1. I like the dramatic wall and how it breaks the monotony of the barrier. It would look even more striking in the few years, when the agave beefs up.

    1. For sure, a nice dark color and between two cement planters, even south facing!

  3. I think they need a larger agave, maybe an ovatifolia.

  4. Looking at these photos, I was thinking, why not plant an Agave ovatifolia? Kris had the same thought, LOL.

    1. You two! Ha. Agave ovatifolia can be few and far between up here, and expensive too. I thought they made a nice choice.

  5. I would worry that the agave is growing too close to the fence panel if it gets much bigger. But then again, maybe it's a smaller variety..?

    1. That and it will lean out towards the light.
