Agave mckelveyana X A....
£4.50A very special, natural Agave hybrid from the mountains of Arizona between Agave mckelveyana and Agave utahensis with stiff, bluish green leaves. This plant may be of special interest to people in colder climates as it grows to a nice size and should be hardy to -20°C at the same time. In climates with humid winters it must have excellent drainage and would benefit from overhead protection from rain.

It is native to Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa in Mexico where it grows between 1400 and 2100 m (4500 and 7000 ft.) on rocky slopes and cliffs in pine and oak forest. In cultivation it can cope with drought and severe freezes.
