New to Texas last summer - San Antonio. In many, many yards I see
gorgeous Agave. Mostly the large blue/gray (yep, I know there are tons
of them but I don't know one from another). Also seeing the variegated
ones with stripes of yellow. Wow.

But I can't find a source for them. All the nurseries I have been to
don't have them. Saw a book at one nursery that showed dozens of Agave,
many similar ones.

So, do you know where locally I can get some?
Thanks.

Wittlesey, I think is the name of the place I'm familiar with. It is
located on the northbound side of I 35 just before you come to Mopac
in Round Rock. Also, the Natural Gardener has a nice selection of
agave, so does Barton Springs Nursery.

Not sure about locally in SAT, but here in Austin several nurseries
have excellent agave selections.

An excellent source for information is Yucca-do, which sells them
online:

Good luck!

Thanks to all. I love the site that was sent with the info I was asking
for. The Yuccado site is interesting, too. I'm off shopping soon!
