This offering represents a cross made by the late Rick Nowakowski of Nature's Curiosity Shop, who sent us the seed before his untimely death. There is a great deal of diversity including some nice snaggle-tooth forms. It is our hope that the addition of Agave lophantha will add some hardiness to the marginally hardy Agave xylonacantha. Based on the parentage we anticipate these should form a 1' tall x 2' wide clump. This is a one-time offer, so don't delay. Agave flowers attract hummingbirds.
