Agave ‘Cream Spike’ is a miniature, variegated agave grown mainly as a collector and container plant, valued for its very small size, controlled habit, and cream-edged foliage. It forms a dense, stemless rosette usually around 4 inches tall and about 6 inches wide, with thick, short leaves held tightly together. The leaves are olive green to blue-green with pale cream margins, small dark marginal teeth, and a short, dark terminal spine, and they may show subtle reddish tones under cool or dry conditions. Like other agaves, it is monocarpic, flowering only at maturity after many years, producing a tall stalk with yellow to yellow-orange flowers before the rosette declines, though offsets may persist. The plant’s origin is strictly horticultural, with a long history of uncertain classification and distribution under multiple names, including associations with Agave parryi and Agave applanata; because its species placement remains unresolved, it is intentionally treated as a cultivar without a Latin epithet. In cultivation it prefers excellent drainage, low water, and bright light, with protection from intense inland heat. It is relatively cold tolerant, with reports of survival near 15–20°F when kept dry, and is best used in containers or specialty gardens where its small scale and foliage detail can be appreciated up close.
