I have a few Agave vilmoriniana (octopus Agave) They are small and VERY root bound. They can take cold down to about 25F. I have a few others as well, but don't have the names handy.

PLMK!

Hi
I have agave americana. I don't know if they are hardy in your area but they are hardy here (my personal experience) in the Pacific NW. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks
