Agave toumeyana Parker Creek Pogonia was discovered in James Van(Agave toumeyana CEH 2262) Agave toumeyana forms a small, light green, slowly offsetting rosette, eventually maturing at 1' tall x 1' wide. The pencil like foliage with white streaking (similar to Agave parviflora), curves upward at the ends creating a ball like effect. Agave toumeyana is native to the limestone cliffs and volcanic areas of central Arizona, with this form hailing from a Cody Hinchliff seed collection near Parker Creek Canyon.
