Agave maculata, the Texas tuberose or spice lily, is a small, stemless succulent from southern Texas and northeastern Mexico, grown for its spotted leaves and seasonal flowers. Give it good drainage and sun or part shade, and let it dry out between waterings.
Agave maculata (synonym Manfreda maculosa), commonly known as the Texas tuberose or spice lily, is a species of Agave that is endemic to southern Texas and northeastern Mexico.
Texas tuberose is the primary host plant for the caterpillars of the rare manfreda giant-skipper or aloe skipper (Stallingsia maculosus (= Stallingsia smithi)). A reduction in the A. maculata population could threaten the existence of the butterflies.
