Agave parryi huachucensis commonly known as the Artichoke Agave, is an evergreen succulent valued for its compact, symmetrical rosettes of broad, silver-grey foliage. Each leaf terminates in a pronounced, deep red spine adding dramatic contrast and architectural appeal.

This variety is well-suited as a focal point in xeriscapes, rock gardens or as a container specimen in hot, arid climates. It thrives in full sun and requires good drainage to prevent root rot. Mature plants produce a tall flowering stalk with lemon-yellow blooms, typically appearing once in the plant’s lifetime.

While drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, the Artichoke Agave should be protected from hard frost. Its sculptural form and resilience make it an exceptional choice for water-wise landscaping.
