Notes
'Joe Hoak' American century plant (Agave 'Joe Hoak') is a succulent for borders, containers, specimens, and rock gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It stays evergreen, so it adds winter interest, and it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Narrow-leaf chalksticks, Stonecrop, Snow in summer, and Sedge.
