The inflorescence consists of hundreds of bell-shaped white and purple flowers.

Contrasting defence mechanisms. The soft, grass tuftlike appearance of the rosettes of Dasylirion wheeleri (sometimes referred to as D. glaucophyllum) belies the fact that the margins are armed with needle-sharp spines. The leaf tips, ending in a hairy tuft, are soft and harmless though. In contrast, the leaf margins of Agave stricta are smooth, but the leaf tips are very sharp. If well grown, these two species make perfect specimen container plants, but keep them away from human traffic and inquisitive pets!
