Agave 'Brian's Guadacolorata' - An attractive hybrid between the Maguey Chato Agave guadalajarana and Mescal Ceniza Agave colorata that was created at the Ruth Bancroft Gardens.
Plant in full sun. Drought tolerant. Cold tolerance not known but likely hardy to the low 20s °F.
We received the seed for our crop of this plant from Brian Kemble in 2008 from seed that he noted was ripe in 2006 on a Agave guadalajarana that Brian had pollinated with pollen from Agave colorata on August 2, 2005. Though we have not seen this plant grow to its full size,we think it attractively-shaped with compact rosettes that have more leaves than Agave colorata but are more vertically held than Agave guadalajarana. We grew and sold this plant from 2013 to 2018.
