(Dwarf Hedgehog Agave, Hedgehog Agave)
Relatively small in size but dramatic in impact, this Mexican native forms strikingly symmetrical rosettes of narrow spine-tipped evergreen leaves. It spreads by ground-hugging stems to produce attractive colonies. Each hedgehog-like rosette eventually produces a tall, often crooked flowering stem, and then dies. The satellite rosettes take its place. Propagation is from seed and by severing prostrate stems to free and root offsets.
Give this plant well drained, neutral to alkaline soil in...

(Miniature Century Plant, Silver Dollar, Toumey's Century Plant)
The small effusive rosettes of Toumey's century have sharp slender blades edged with slender white edges that pull away like delicate white scribbles. Though compact it makes a dramatic addition to any desert rock garden or container. This all-American native naturally exists in the mountains of Arizona. It is an unusually hardy species that can withstand periods of freezing as long as growing conditions remain dry, particularly at the root zone.

(Weber's Agave, Weber's Century Plant)
A huge silvery blue agave ideal for large, open gardens where it can achieve its magnificent stature, this succulent evergreen is naturalized in Mexico and Texas but is unknown in the wild. Like sisal (Agave sisalana), it may have originated in ancient Mexico as a cultivated hybrid grown for its fibers. Forming immense rosettes atop short trunks, the long, dagger-shaped, spine-tipped leaves vary in size as well as in the presence of minute marginal teeth. Blue coloring becomes more pronounced...
