Agave gentryi 'La Escondida'
This high mountain century plant, rather large-growing, to 5 ft or more, has bold, deep gray-green leaves forming large single rosettes before pupping. Eventually produces a red-stemmed flower stalk approaching 20 ft tall! This form appears to have had some dealings with nearby A. scabra as it has a bluish cast to the leaves not often found in the species. Quite capable of enduring garden water and partial shade. Frost hardy at 10 to 15F, bottom of USDA zone 8. Otherwise a wonderful large container specimen.
