Agave mitis var albidior Silver Anniversary Bletilla topped with bright red tubular(aka: Agave celsii v. albicans) I first saw this incredibly silver form of Agave mitis v. albidior at Holland's Succulenta nursery in 2004 and was able to return home with a pup. The plant grew into an amazing 18" tall x 3' wide slowly offsetting specimen. Because this clone was so unique in its silver color, we gave it the clonal name, Agave 'Silver Anniversary', and are pleased to share it.
