20 AGAVE MONTANA SEEDS
HARDY CENTURY PLANT!


The Queen of Agaves, it not only is the most beautiful but the most suitable
for growing in climates with cold, wet winters. Native to northeastern Mexico,
it grows up to 3500 m (11500 ft.) basically as an understorey plant in pine and oak
forests, where the summers are cool and winters hostile. Snow, ice and subzero
temperatures are the norm for these high hillsides and this Agave could reasonably
be expected to survive -15°C (5°F) even in damp conditions. This is not a desert plant!
Agave montana grows as a large, dense, solitary rosette of wide, powdery gray-green
leaves with reddish thorny margins and terminal spine. Seeds have only been available in
very small quantities since it's discovery about 10 years ago. Our efforts represent the
first major seed collection and will hopefully enable this stunning plant to enter into wider
cultivation. Our seeds came from the best plants at around 3000 m (10000 ft.) or so.
