Re: Agave 'Edward Hummel'

Dear Ken,

Do you have any more info on Agave x 'Edward Hummel', such as its originator, who named it, its parentage, etc.?

It looks very similar to Agave attenuata 'Red Edge'. Could they be the same?

  This is a beautiful hybrid. I have been told that it does not readily
  offset, and must be propagated via decapitation. It's fairly rare in
  the trade.
