Agave parryi subsp. parryi
Parrys Agave - Mescal Agave
Description
Agave parryi subsp. parryi, also known as Parry's Agave, is a striking succulent native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is characterized by its broad, silvery-gray leaves with reddish-brown spines along the margins. The leaves are arranged in a compact rosette. Agave parryi is a medium-sized agave that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant. After many years, it produces a tall flowering stalk with yellow flowers, after which the plant dies. The beautiful appearance of this plant makes it a great addition to rock gardens and xeriscapes. It is a good idea to provide well-draining soil.
