AGAVE MURPHEYI
MURPHEY’S AGAVE

medium-sized specimen with bluegreen to gray-green leaves decorated
with striking bud imprints. Typically
solitary it will occasionally produce
offsets. Native to central Arizona and
northern Mexico at elevations from
1500 to 3000 feet, this plant tolerates
extreme heat and full sun with
minimal supplemental irrigation. The
flower stalks produce pale green
flowers and many tiny plantlets
known as bulbils. The mother plant
will die after flowering requiring
replacement. Hardy to 10° F, it is
