The ideal agave, in addition to low-water and low-maintenance, won't get too large, has beautiful lines or variegations, doesn't produce a slew of offsets, is easy to garden around, and isn't a view-blocker. Renowned agave hybridizer Kelly Griffin (succulent plant development manager at Altman Plants) shows six great agaves for gardens large and small, and shares expert tips on agave care and cultivation. The six are: A. ovatifolia, A. 'Blue Glow', A. victoriae-reginae, A. titanota, A. impressa, and A. guiengola.
