Default The parrasana that isn't

Whatever that enthusiastic pupper sold at the Big Box stores is, I have it, it is not the parrasana pictured at the start of this thread, and I am glad to have it! But then I am no agave expert.... I just wonder how hardy it is here. The USDA says I am in 7B but the Arbor Day foundation, using data from 1995 through 2005, places me at the north edge of 8A. Last winter was the coldest in a decade, we got down to about 10 to 12 degrees F every night for a week. I had all agaves inside, just in case.
