Agave schottii direct sunlight. Individuals of this species are flowering shrubs. The "Agave schottii", like other "Agave" species, are succulents with a rosette of thick, blue-green, finger-like leaves with sharp spines on their tips. The "Agave schottii" is different from other "Agave" in that the leaves do not have spines on its edges, which makes it a member of the "Agave" subgenus Littaea. Its leaves typically grow to a length of about 0.3 meters (0.98 feet). Because its height is about that of a human's shin, and because it has sharp, spiny leaves, this species has been given the common name "Shindagger."
