Hardy medium-sized agave from Arizona and New Mexico with two-inch-wide bluish-green leaves armed with many small spines. Eventually, it may produce a sky-high flower stalk, but I doubt we'll stick around our current garden long enough to witness that. After blooming, the mother plant dies, although it may live on through its offsets.

We're just trying this plant for the first time this year; it
hasn't found a permanent place in our gardens yet.
