Agave oteroi 'Filigree Devil' – An very unique and attractive small mound forming agave with 3 inch wide tightly clustered rosettes of short gray-green leaves that rise up on short branching stems to form a dense clump. This plant is a cresting sport found within our crops of Agave oteroi 'Filigree', itself a unique small form the Sierra Mixteca Agave that we introduced in 2010. 'Filigree' was a single clone selected from seed grown crops of Agave oteroi (then known as A. sp. FO-076) for its tight growth and long eyelash like spines on the margin and over the years we began to notice that within the crops we were seeing a form that was more tightly clustered with smaller rosettes and it was this plant that we selected out and named 'Filigree Devil'. We thank Holly Krock for suggesting the name for this plant.
The information displayed on this page is based on research conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations that we have made of it growing in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how it has performed in our crops out in the nursery field. We will incorporate comments that we receive from others as well, and welcome hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they have knowledge of cultural information we do not mention that would aid others in growing Agave oteroi 'Filigree Devil'.
