Whimsy and Wonder
We only sell freshly harvested seeds from small time growers, hobbyists and collectors.
Listing is for 5 Seeds
ThisBromeliad grows in north central Mexico and the Big Bend region of far west Texas, where it resembles Agave lechuguilla but is easily distinguished by the rich red color of its leaves - either the whole upper surface or just the edges and tips. The upward-pointing leaves are tapering, 1 to 1.5 inches wide at the base, up to 17 inches long, and lined with a regular array of large teeth (lechuguilla have no teeth). In arid conditions leaf tips may turn brown and become shriveled. The small, brownish white springtime flowers are borne on a branched stalk about 2 feet tall. New plants sprout from the base.
