Agave parryi
Dramatic grey-green to bluish-grey succulent foliage in compact rosettes. One of the most popular and hardy agave species, A. parryi can withstand minus 29 Celsius. In our region protect from winter rain with extremely sharp drainage or overhead cover. Plants bloom once — around the age of 20 — but produce lots of pups to keep your clump going! We also grow var. truncata and var. huachucensis.
