Agave havardiana - Havard Century Plant
Agave havardiana - Havard Agave
Rising out of the grass and oak savannahs of West Texas, the Havard Century Plant is as tough and rugged as the places it grows. Broad-based grey-green leaves have large black curved teeth on their margins and are tipped with sharp spines that give Havard’s Agave a very attractive and formidable appearance. It is a low-maintenance and drought-tolerant plant. This is one of the most reliable varieties for high-elevation gardens because of its tolerance for cold. Plant in very well-draining soil.
Exposure Full sun
Grows to 2-3 feet high x 3-4 feet wide
Hardiness Zone 5-12
*Plants ship bare root* Why bare root?
PLANT VARIATIONS

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING
Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.
BARE ROOT SHIPPING
This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.

Thank YOU!

I ordered four. They shipped quickly and were packaged well, I was excited to find an agave that will survive up here on Lake Erie!
I've researched many types for my specific location as I just added a Xeriscape in my yard, and I wanted an Agave for the center piece of the garden. It was packaged very nicely, shipped very quickly and arrived healthy. I am very happy and will definitely look to order from you again in the future.
I ordered 3 because I figured that I will probably kill 2….all of them were just flopping around the inside of the shipping box, separate from the pots. But this rough treatment did not seem to hurt the plants, I immediately planted the and all three are doing great. Would order from Happy Valley without hesitation but would like to see a little bit better stability in shipping.
I recently received 2 Agave havardiana plants. They were much larger than I expected and very healthy - and good price.
