Agave parrasana x colorata is a hybrid from a cross made by Brian Kemble. Intermediate between the species - more open than typical Agave parrasana with thinner darker leaves than typical A. colorata.

Plant in full sun. Little H20. Hardiness not known but likely around 15F.

Our plants from seed collected by Brian Kemble from Agave parrasana that was hand pollinated between 4/30/07 – 5/11/07 and ripenend in 9-07. The mother plant (Agave parrasana) was also pollinated on labeled flowers with pollen from Agave xylonocantha and we have plants of this cross as well. We offered this plant for sale from 2011 to 2015. 

The information about Agave parrasana x colorata displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
