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 these plants from Brian Kemble in 2008 from seed that was ripe in 2006 on a Agave guadalajarana that he 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.
This description is based on research and observations of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in our nursery garden and in other gardens that we visit. We also incorporate comments received and appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have any additional information about this plant, particularly if they disagree with what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Agave 'Brian's Guadacolorata'.
