Description

Agave Colorata | Mescal Ceniza

Also known as Mescal Ceniza. Agave colorata is very rare and uncommon in nature and grows only on the steep slopes of the volcanic mountains in the coastal region in Sinaloan thornscrub. It often emerges from apparently solid rock cliffs. This species receives most of its yearly rainfall from midsummer into early autumn, it seems likely that summer aridity rather than winter cold shapes the north-western limit of this species. Flowers are pollinated by bats and perhaps also hummingbirds.
