Agave who?

18 years ago

Hi, all.

I walked around town all day today in Moab, and I took some pics of some Agaves that are growing in landscaping. They seem to do well, and I was hoping that someone could hepl me with an ID so I can perhaps add one to my outside garden. I am in zone 7b, if that helps, and it gets down in the teens during the winter at nights, so they are really hardy ones. Thanks for any help!

Kate,

The first one looks like something in the Parryanae group, possibly a type of parryi or neomexicana or havardiana or something similar...

The second one is Agave utahensis which comes in several forms.
