We purchased these seeds (wild collected from La Escondida in Mexico's Nuevo Leon province) as Agave gentryi, but after examining the parent photos and growing the plants, we are convinced they are Agave gentryi with some Agave montana intergrades. Expect thick, glossy, green-leaved, attractive rosettes to 3' tall x 4' wide. Supplies are very limited.
