Agave guiengola Creme Brulee
(syn: Agave guiengola ‘Marginata’) We are pleased to make available this elegant collector plant, whose parent originated in the Guiengola limestone cliffs of Oaxaca (pronounced “Wahaka”), Mexico. Since the name ‘Marginata’ has been invalid on plants named after 1959, we chose a new name, Agave ‘Creme Brulee’. This soft-leaf agave is simply elegant with wide, medium green leaves surrounded by a 1″ border of creamy white. While Agave guiengola can reach 3′ tall x 4′ wide, the variegation should slow it down considerably…we’re guessing about 25 percent. Agave ‘Creme Brulee’ was discovered by California agave specialist, Kelly Griffin. Agave flowers attract hummingbirds.
