Agave 'Joe Hoak' is a magnificent architectural succulent with elegantly curved, thick, grey-green and cream variegated leaves that cluster together to form a rosette. Up to 10 years may pass before a stunning terminal yellow-flowered spike emerges. The main plant then perishes but produces several young "pups." Works just as well mass-planted in a tropical or dry landscape as it does in a statement-making feature pot.
