Agave parryi 'Giant Grantkids' is a 2024 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a 2022 seed collection (with permission) from the late Agave specialist David Salman, who sent these seed just months prior to his untimely death. David described these as some of the largest Agave parryi clones he'd ever seen and from a very cold (Zone 5b) site at 7,000' in the Gila National Forest in Grant County, New Mexico. Plants at this population averaged 3-3.5' in width.
