Agave gentryi Uptight

Agave gentryi 'Uptight' is a 2026 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a Zac Hill collection from nearly 10,000' elevation in the La Peña Nevada Mountains in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Agave 'Uptight' has sailed through winters here since 2018, forming a superb 3' tall x 3' wide clump. The glossy green, deeply-channeled leaves are incredibly upright, giving this a unique garden form. It is critically important that Agave gentryi be situated in dry, well-drained soils, especially in winter wet climates.
