Agave With No Name

Post by leisurely »

Please help me to identify my Agave. It is a plant that I purchased at a local garden center and is growing in a one gallon pot with a width of about 10". Based on the leaf imprints and the spines, my guess is Agave Parrasana but with my limited knowledge it is only a guess. You assistance in naming my plant would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like Agave potatorum to me.

I never considered Agave potatorum because I have a plant that I have had for about ten years and it has remained a 14 cm plant. It is apparently a dwarf form. Agave potatorum is a very variable species and after your suggestion, I viewed a number of them on line and I believe your identification is correct. Thank you for your help.
