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 about Agave oteroi 'Filigree Devil' 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. |
