Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Agave parryi var. truncata 'Lime Streak' is a beautiful form of Parry's Agave with dramatic bluish-grey succulent foliage with light green variegation at the edges in compact rosettes. Hardy in coastal BC if protected from rain. Treat as a houseplant in colder regions.

By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

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.
