Seeds of Agave colorata an attractive wide-leafed agave with succulent rosettes with jagged spines on the leaf margins. Gray-green, banded, thick, coarse, and toothed edges, and sharp tips are its main features. This plant is usually solitary and rarely sends up many plants around the main rosette, but sometimes it may slowly clump and mature plants develop a short stem. Agave colorata is very rare and uncommon in nature and grows only on the steep slopes of the volcanic mountains in the coastal region of Sinaloan thornscrub. It often grows from seemingly solid rock cliffs. It receives most of its yearly rainfall from midsummer into autumn, it seems likely that summer aridity rather than winter cold shapes the north-western limit of this species. Flowers are pollinated by bats and sometimes also hummingbirds. Hardiness: USDA Zones 9,10, 15o F Seed Orders A seed is a live product that depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease-free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity, and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of my control and are your responsibility and risk. Consequentially, I cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer’s methods or mistakes. Seed Orders: Germination instructions will be shipped with the order. If for any reason you are not 100% pleased with your purchase please do not leave negative feedback. Please e-mail me and I will gladly replace anything at my cost if available. I answer my e-mails every day and would love to hear from you about any problems.
