This collection of Agave deserti comes from an Ian Barclay seed collection near Cunningham Pass, Arizona at 2,500', from a population that exhibited great banding. Agave deserti has stunningly grey-blue leaves that form a 20" tall x 2' wide rosette that is very sensitive to wet winter soils. Agave flowers attract hummingbirds.
