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.  Information displayed on this page about  Agave oteroi 'Filigree Devil' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
