Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Strikingly handsome agave with blue-gray, sharp-spined leaves with light green variegation in streaks along the leaf edges and a more open habit than the species. To 2 ft tall at maturity, these are best in full sun and soil that is lean and very well-drained. Extra protection from winter moisture increases frost hardiness. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 with that excellent drainage. Good in containers as well, with extra protection in winter cold.

By: Cistus Nursery

Dramatic bluish-grey succulent foliage with lighter green variegation in compact rosettes. One of the most widespread 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!
