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.
