Agave titanota Snaggle Tooth North Carolina Native Plants we visited plantsman Rick Lewandowski(aka: Agave titanota 'MSWNStarr1') Agave titanota 'Snaggle Tooth' is a Mountain States Nursery introduction of a very wide creamy white edged form of the architectural Agave titanota. This stunning agave is very slow growing due to the reduction in the amount of chlorophyll, but will eventually reach 18" tall x 4' wide if you live long enough. Despite the creamy white foliage, we have seen no foliar burn in full sun in our climate.
