Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sent to us by plantsman Jeff Anderson these are the result of "traffic" between two plants in his garden producing a rather large, to 6 ft, rosette, of sparsely toothed leaves. We don't yet know what their variability would be but they should be of a more robust texture than the dasylirion and possibly faster growing. Best in full sun and pushed with a little summer moisture in summer dry places, avoiding ground that remains soggy in winter -- shouldn't we all?. Should be fully frost hardy to the single digits °F, USDA zone 7b. Agavaceae
