Agave gentryi
Hardy Agave

An ornamental succulent that forms a solitary rosette of curvy, gray-green leaves. Large teeth along the margins taper to needle-sharp terminal spines. Bud imprints on leaves give character to this species. Mature rosettes produce tall, yellow flower spikes. One of the most cold hardy agaves, down to 5 degrees F.
