Agave 'Blue Bola Select' - An attractive midsized agave to 2-3 feet tall with a symmetrical rosette of18 inch long pale gray leaves that are wider toward the middle with large, dark, evenly-spaced spines along the margin and a long terminal spine. Plant in full sun. Irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Hardy to at least 25 F. This Agave is a bit of a mystery for us. This plant was selected in 2004 from a block of plants labeled 'Blue Bola' at Rancho Soledad Nursery in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. It was distinctly different from the other plants in the block and we were immediately taken by its clean look. Rancho Soledad Nursery horticulturist Kelly Griffin speculates that it may be hybrid of Agave celsii.
The information about Agave 'Blue Bola Select' 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. |
