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