Agave Parryi Truncata
Price range: $0.70 through $1.85
Agave parryi truncata
Family: Asparagaceae
Common Name: Artichoke Agave
Origin: Northern Mexico and Southwestern United States
Description:
Agave parryi var. truncata is a refined selection of the classic Parry’s Agave, known for its symmetrical rosettes of broad, steel-blue leaves. Each leaf is tipped with a dramatic dark terminal spine and edged in small, evenly spaced teeth, creating a sharp geometric silhouette reminiscent of an artichoke.
Its compact form makes it ideal for tighter garden spaces or container use. This variety maintains a slightly flatter, more open rosette compared to other Parryi types, adding to its ornamental appeal.
