Agave
Havardiana, “Chisos” Agave
USDA Zone 5b (-15°F)
Occurring naturally in high,
cold altitudes, this is one of the rare agaves that withstand freezing
temperatures. Slow growing, medium sized (2 ½ ft high by 3
ft’) with compact rosettes of blue / green leaves. A beautiful agave
that will give years of enjoyment without encroaching on the space of neighboring
plants as it matures. Extremely easy to transplant, it needs occasional
summer watering and light shade in hot, dry climates.
