Agave potatorum ‘Eye Scream’ is a compact, variegated butterfly agave grown primarily as a collector plant and container specimen, valued for its strong symmetry, bold marginal armament, and striking color contrast. It forms a mostly solitary, open rosette typically about 6–8 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide, with short, broad, diamond-shaped leaves held in a clean, balanced arrangement. Foliage is blue-gray with wide creamy yellow margins, each edge lined with pronounced mammillate projections bearing well-spaced red teeth, and each leaf terminating in a long red terminal spine. The heavy marginal structure combined with high-contrast variegation gives the plant a dramatic, graphic appearance despite its small size. Flowering is infrequent and occurs only at maturity, when a tall stalk bearing yellow flowers is produced, after which the rosette declines, consistent with the monocarpic habit of agaves. The cultivar entered cultivation from Thailand and was later named and released by Plant Delights Nursery, also circulating under the name ‘Bluewinds’. It grows best in full sun with gritty, well-drained soil and minimal irrigation, tolerates dry summer conditions, and is hardy to about 25°F when kept dry. ‘Eye Scream’ is best used as a container plant, foreground accent, or focal specimen where its form and coloration can be appreciated up close.
