Re: Agave asperrima ssp. zarcensis
From Keith/KLC, seedling grown I believe. Has a nice blue coloring.

Re: Agave asperrima ssp. zarcensis
Do you think the coloration differences are due to growing conditions or variation in form? Mine is the color of the Boyce Thompson Arboretum plant. This photo makes it look green but it's actually almost white. It's also from KLC.

Re: Agave asperrima ssp. zarcensis
Hard to say. It's growing in full sun (LA sun tho, not AZ), and was pretty blue when I got it 15 months ago. I'm pretty sure KLC's plants were all seedlings though, so maybe there's some natural variance.
