| Description: Parry's Agave produces larger leaves and rosettes than the subspecies Agave parryi couesii. The compact nearly round rosettes consist of gray-green leaves 7-20 inches in length. Leaves have marginal teeth as well as a stout tooth on the tip. A plant purchased as a single specimen ultimately forms colonies of many offsets. There are several varieties of this succulent, with Agave parryi huachucensis being the most common. The mother plant will bloom once, usually during the summer.
Maintenance: Parry's Agave has a slow growth rate and requires little to no water. Does best in full sun or filtered sunlight. Very little maintenance required if plants are given ample room to spread. Freely offsets and can form clumps to 5' across. |
