Agave havardiana Ft Davis Epimedium The brightly edged yellow foliageAgave havardiana 'Ft. Davis' is 2026 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a Wade Roitsch (Yucca Do) seed collection, from a very cold part of its range in Jeff Davis County, Texas. There it grows in rocky, dry grasslands, where it forms glaucous green, rarely offsetting, 20" tall x 4' wide rosettes. This is one of the most winter hardy century plant species, but requires excellent drainage and protection from prolonged spells of winter rain.
