Nursery contributed plant descriptions

25 healthy bulbils from an Agave celsii about 2" tall. Just place in a little soil, keep moist and warm and you should have several rooted plants this Spring. I've seen several grow roots after < 1 month - others have not rooted yet which is why I'm offering these as a batch of 25.

In the ground they will get 2-3ft wide and tall.

Variegated Agave celsii - A native to cloud forests of North Central Mexico, this makes a great plant for pot culture - great on a pation for the Summer - for those areas unable to grow this outside. Hardy in zones 9 and 10. Likely hardy in protected areas into zone 8. Otherwise, a fantastic potted specimen plant!
