Agave parrasana
1st March 2015
A fabulous small compact species from elevations up to 2,480m in limestone mountaiuns in southeastern Coahuila, Mexico.
Cold tolerant and distinctive, I have been nurturing a couple of seedlings but I also have a larger plant that I bought in a moment of impatience.
A real beauty flowered at Kew this summer and I'm very happy to be a bit closer to achieving that. The Kew plant was even small enough to fit under the Agave house roof
when in flower, which would be very convenient.

Not the same plant!
