Agave acklinicola

Agave acklinicola is a Bahamian endemic, named for Acklins Island, growing in full sun on thin soil over coastal limestone. Treat it as a frost-tender, salt- and drought-tolerant small Agave that wants strong light, a free-draining mineral mix and warm temperatures. Almost nothing beyond its description is published, so this profile relies on the regional climate and Caribbean agaves in general.

Coastal coppice and open scrub on limestone rock and thin sandy soil, as for other Bahamian agaves, in full sun and salt-laden wind.

Near sea level; the Bahamas rise only a few tens of metres.
