AGAVE PARRYI VAR. NEOMEXICANA
One of the smaller selections of A. parryi,
this variety grows to about 1 1/2' tall x 2'
wide, with many offsets. This plant suckers
freely to form large clumps of flat-topped
rosettes. Its leaves are slender and are blue
green to gray in color. It has narrower
leaves than the other varieties of Agave
parryi. This variety is native to southeastern New Mexico and west Texas, growing
on rocky limestone slopes from 1400 to
7000 feet in elevation. In low deserts, plant
it in part sun and provide good drainage. It
can handle full sun exposures at higher
elevations. This agave will need some additional moisture in heat of summer. It is very
cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to
- 20° F. USDA Zone 5.
