A. geminiflora is a small, rounded agave with densely packed and symmetrical green leaves that grow up to two feet long and less than 1/2" wide (1, 2). Unlike other agaves, A. geminiflora leaves are unarmed and safe to touch (1,2,3). Often, the leaves will droop downwards creating a charming appearance (1, 2).Along the edges of the leaves, there are loose fibers. The species specific epithet, geminiflora, is derived from the pair of flowers at each bract along the spike. This species is also considered an evergreen, despite that it is sensitive to the cold(1). This plant blooms only one time after it is established, producing tall unbranched stalks, 8 to 12 feet tall, with twin bright yellow flowers (1, 2).
