Agave havardiana 'Glass Mountain' seed collected

This medium-sized agave is native to Far West Texas and adjacent Mexico, and in our opinion is highly underutilized by the landscape market. The leaves of this plant have thick, tough skin making it more likely to survive an ice storm with minimal damage. The seeds for this agave are collected by us from the Glass Mountains of Pecos County from a population that is considered the most beautiful by many botanists. This is an undeniably handsome plant with the leaves terminating in a dark point that looks to have been painted. This agave produces few offsets so it will be easy to maintain a clean look in your landscape. Plant in full sun and if you live in a hot climate; it is best to plant in an area with afternoon shade.
