Common name hardy century plant Family agavaceae Life cycle perennial Size 15" Light sun Cultural notes well-drained soil Most sources list this agave as hardy only in zones 9-10; Plant Delights Nursery extends it to Z7-10; and there are reports of hardiness in zone 6 (see links below). I picked up a tiny 2nd-year plant at the HPS/MAG plant sale, and set it in our rock garden to see if it survives.

I'm afraid our experiment was unsuccessful: the plant was lifeless the next spring

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
