Agave "Yavapai County" - A rosette-forming succulent that should grow to about 2 feet tall by 3 feet wide with gray-green leaves.
Plant in full sun and give little to no supplemental irrigation. Likely vwery hardy.
We really don't know much more about this plant that we grew from seed collected at around 4,500 feet in Yavapai County, Arizonia by Forrest (Erik) Anderson. This area has both Parry's Agave, Agave parryi var. couesii and the Golden Flowered Agave, Agave chrysantha, which is a close relative of Agave palmeri. The seed collected was off a plant thought to be a hybrid between these two and many plants with this parentage have been identified in this area. Both of these plants are among the hardiest of the Agave so this hybrid will likely prove as hardy. We only grew one small crop of this plant in 2013.
