Re: Plant ID
They are hardy to 5C, but I wouldn't try much lower. They are more likely to suffer from excess heat and light in summer, in my experience.

Re: Agave cultivars
Maybe someone should have a go at crossing the ex-Mangaves with their distant cousins, Hostas. We might get nice, stripy, prickly, spotty, hardy "x Hostages" er "x Hostagaves"...
