My photos of agaves are identified according to genus and species, and sometimes common names. (I’m not a big fan of common names, which can vary from region to region and grower to grower.)
Agaves are rosette-shaped succulents native to the Americas. There are dozens of species of Agave, including many that are small and well suited to containers. Agave victoria-reginae is a favorite; it grows to the size of a soccer ball over time. With the notable exception of Agave attenuata, most agaves tolerate temperatures into the mid-20s F; some—such as Agave parryi ‘Truncata’ shown below—go much lower.
You’re welcome to download and share any of my agave photos providing the watermark stays on it.
