Agave 'Blue Bola Select' - An attractive midsized agave to 2-3 feet tall with a symmetrical rosette of18 inch long pale gray leaves that are wider toward the middle with large, dark, evenly-spaced spines along the margin and a long terminal spine.
Plant in full sun. Irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Hardy to at least 25 F.
This Agave is a bit of a mystery for us. This plant was selected in 2004 from a block of plants labeled 'Blue Bola' at Rancho Soledad Nursery in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. It was distinctly different from the other plants in the block and we were immediately taken by its clean look. Horticulturist Kelly Griffin, then working at Rancho Soledad Nursery, speculated at the time that it may be hybrid of Agave celsii.
Information displayed on this page about Agave 'Blue Bola Select' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
