Agave parryi ‘Artichoke’ forms a dense, symmetrical rosette of thick, fleshy leaves with distinctive pale blue-gray coloration and sharply pointed tips. The leaves are edged with small teeth, giving the plant its “artichoke” appearance. Growing 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, this slow-growing succulent thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and poor soils with ease. It’s an excellent choice for low-water landscapes, container gardening, and striking architectural accents.
