Agave salmiana 'Butterfingers' (Butterfingers Hardy Century Plant)

SunZone: 8-10, guessing 36" tall Origin: Mexico

We first got this stunning selection of Agave salmiana from Marsha McPhetters's California garden, where it made a 3' tall x 4' wide clump. The upright growing rosette of concave glossy dark green leaves is dramatically highlighted by a creamy yellow margin. We have grown at least two other margined forms of A. salmiana. While some A. salmiana cultivars are winter hardy to 5 degrees F, we are just now trialing this selection outdoors. Thanks to Brian Kemble of the Ruth Bancroft Garden for assisting with naming this agave. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
