Description:
This agave is of variable shape because it is a natural hybridization between Agave parryi neomexicana and agave lechuguilla. It is sometimes one or the other species. This plant supports frosts very well but not excess water in winter, it is imperative to offer a very draining substrate if grown outdoors.
