Agave parrasana Sea Star Asparagus I see that the bizarreAgave 'Sea Star' is a truly exciting form of Agave parrasana from Dutch agave collector Stef van Dort. Stef selected this seedling from wild collected seed from Northern Mexico, where Agave parrasana grows in the wild. Agave 'Sea Star' forms a slow growing, compact 1' tall x 18" wide, rarely offsetting clump of smooth, thick blue leaves edged with a wide border of creamy gold simply fantastic!
