Agave pringlei

A mid-sized rosette agave of the mountains of northern Baja California, growing among chaparral and pine-oak scrub at roughly 1000–1800 m. It sees hot dry summers, frosty winter nights and a little winter rain, so grow it in full sun, keep it dry and cool in winter, and give it a fast-draining mineral mix.
