Agave ‘Frosty Crystal’

Family: Agave
Common Name: Frosty Crystal
Origin: Southern Mexico isthmensis x parrasana cross

Description:

Agave Frosty Crystal is a hybrid, the result of a cross between two striking parents: a selection of Agave isthmensis from southern Mexico, known for its reddish teeth and bluish leaves, and Agave parrasana, which contributed a remarkable leaf imprint to the hybrid.
From this cross, we have selected a beautiful specimen that features bright red teeth and blue leaves with a splendid imprint. This plant has been successfully tissue-cultured in our lab and is now available. In terms of characteristics, the ‘Frosty Crystal’ is a mid-sized agave with incredible eye appeal and is hardy to freezing temperatures.

  • Zones: USDA 7b–11
  • Cold Tolerance: Extremely hardy, to ~10°F (-12°C)

Planting & Care Tips:

  • Soil: Needs fast-draining soil—amend with gravel or pumice if necessary

  • Maintenance: Low; remove lower leaves as they age to keep clean form
