🦑 Squid Agave (Agave bracteosa)
Native to northeastern Mexico, where it grows on rocky limestone slopes, this agave is perfectly adapted to Texas Hill Country heat, drought, and soils. Cold hardy to around 20°F, which aligns with most Hill Country winters. With no sharp tips or serrated edges, the Squid Agave is a safe, stylish choice for walkways, patios, and poolside plantings—all the agave charm without the spikes. Its compact size also makes it a standout option for containers and rock gardens.
