Agave gracilipes Culberson Kids Musa 3' tall plants are adornedAgave x gracilipes 'Culberson Kids' is a seed strain of the hybrid of Agave parryi ssp. neomexicana and Agave lechuguilla from a population of intergrades in Culberson County, Texas. Like our offering of Agave parryi ssp. neomexicana from another population in the same county, these Agave x gracilipes are much larger than is typical with that hybrid. Our plants are grown from a Kenton Seth (KJS361) seed collection.
