Saul's Nursery at Peachtree Dunwoody has what you want. I was there today and they had several 3 gallon and a few one gallon size Variagated Agaves. There is also a Sauls on Union Hill Road off of Mc Farland about 3 miles from 400.

404-257-3339 is the number to the P'tree Dunwoody Location. I am not sure if they will be open this Saturday. If they are, they will only be open until 12:00 usually.

Is this the plant they make syrup from its sap?

I don't know about syrup but they make tequila from the blue agave!
I like this one because of it's twisty leaves. But they are had to come by - we are on the edge of their hardiness zone.

Ilikemud, if you haven't made it to Saul's yet, let's go together to their Union Hill location. Best to call them first to be sure it's available. LOVE shopping at Saul's.

Rosie, in Sugar Hill
