Both the size and distinctive color markings of the White-striped century plant make it suited as a focal plant in both residential gardens and commercial landscapes. This is a clumping cultivar that will produce new plants over time around its base. It dapts to full sun, heat, aridity and winter cold to 15°F. Like other agaves, once established it requires little care or attention.
A tightly symmetrical rosette of thick, blue-gray leaves with dark terminal spines, resembling an artichoke head and forming striking clumps over time as offshoots multiply around the mother plant. Drought-tolerant once established, it’s an excellent xeriscape accent, groundcover, or barrier planting. Tolerates winters very well in DFW, but should be protected during extreme freezes.
A bold, slow-growing agave with broad, silvery gray-green leaves edged in wide-spaced teeth and tipped with striking dark spines, forming a dramatic architectural rosette. As one of the most cold-hardy agave species available, it’s a great match for North Texas landscapes, standing up to our summer heat, drought, and winter lows that would damage less hardy agaves.

Its tidy, miniature size makes it a standout in containers, rock gardens, or as a textural accent among other xeric plantings, needing minimal water once established in well-drained soil. Typical winter lows in North Texas are too cold to not sustain damage, so it’s best sited in a protected spot or brought into a container for hard freezes.
Forms a tight rosette of fleshy, broad and cupped, silvery-gray leaves. Native to the Davis Mountains of west Texas, it has proven itself to be very cold-hardy.
Cold tolerant smaller Agave with gray-green leaves in a rosette pattern with dark burgundy spines. New plants are produced from the base of the plant. Will bloom once established for many years.
