    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A beautiful, rare Agave with broad apple-green leaves (on this form—some have bluer leaves) lined with tiny teeth, forming colonies of 2' wide rosettes. It is more tolerant of shade than many Agaves, and Mary and Gary Irish report that this plant has withstood 12 °F in eastern Texas.
