I was a flake surprised yesteryear the size of the box, considering I ordered alone v plants. However, correct afterwards opening the box, it became clear that everything was rattling good packaged.
This is where all the sometime Plant Delights catalog go:
And hither are my novel beauties:
×Mangave 'Spotty Dotty':
From the Plant Delights website:
×Mangave 'Spotty Dotty' is a vigorous 2017 Walters Gardens introduction...a Hans Hansen hybrid involving iii North American natives...Agave gypsophila, Agave bovicornuta too Manfreda maculosa. [It] forms a 10" tall x 3' broad rosette of 3" wide, lightly wavy, glaucous, blue-green leaves, highlighted yesteryear an abundance of maroon spots too edged amongst soft, plastic knife-like serrations.

The comment nearly it existence lonely is interesting, considering my found does have a pup already!

If the size of the parents is any indication, nosotros await the offspring to accomplish at to the lowest degree 7' tall x 12' inwards width or larger. Each Agave 'Bluebell Giants' seedling is different, only the consistent traits we've seen too then far are fast increment rate, overnice bluish foliage, too upturned leafage tips.

The mature size of this cultivar is intimidating, only I couldn't resist. Now to notice a spot for it!
Agave 'Desert Love':
From the Plant Delights website:
We grew this seed batch of Agave ovatifolia and it was rapidly obvious in that location had been or too then romantic hanky panky inwards the high desert mountains of Northern Mexico. The resulting offspring from the tryst look to live hybrids of Agave ovatifolia with the lovely Agave parrasana and peradventure Agave asperrima (scabra). The foliage of Agave 'Desert Love' ranges from broad to narrow amongst an assortment of recurved leafage tips, spine patterns, only almost consistently bluish foliage...unlike the by too large light-green Agave ovatifolia hybrids nosotros offering every bit 'Huasteca Giant'. This is our start offering of these amazing plants, too then if you lot similar hardy century plants, you lot may desire to crusade several, since each private is different. We anticipate most plants volition mature inwards the 2' tall x 6' broad range, only in that location volition live or too then smaller too or too then larger.
