Rising out of the grass and oak savannahs of West Texas, the Havard Century Plant is as tough and rugged as the places it grows. Broad-based grey-green leaves have large black curved teeth on their margins and are tipped with sharp spines that give Havard’s Agave a very attractive and formidable appearance. It is a low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plant. This is one of the most reliable varieties for high-elevation gardens because of its tolerance for cold. Plant in very well-draining soil.
