(Parry's Agave, Parry's Century Plant)
One of the hardier agave species, Parry's agave is a beautiful succulent that originates from the alpine regions of Arizona and New Mexico. It is a more compact agave that sports wide, succulent gray-green leaves with fine, sharp, serrated edges of black. Its neat, evergreen rosettes slowly develop offshoots, or pups, which can easily be removed and replanted elsewhere if desired.
In summer mature rosettes put forth tall, upright panicles of fragrant, creamy yellow flowers. These may be pink...

(Schott's Agave, Schott's Century Plant)
Use this tough little Agave in hot dry regions where few small ornamentals will survive. This species is native to southern Arizona and New Mexico, extending southward into Sonora, Mexico. It has an informal, scruffy look and maintains a cast iron nature in rocky infertile ground. The leaves contain saponifiers and were harvested by indigenous people for soap.
Schott's Agave tends to spread and form colonies. Each rosette is dense and irregularly shaped with linear, upright leaves...

(Hedgehog Agave, Hedgehog Century Plant)
Relatively small in size but dramatic in impact, this Mexican native forms strikingly symmetrical rosettes of narrow spine-tipped evergreen leaves. It spreads by ground-hugging stems to produce attractive colonies. Each hedgehog-like rosette eventually produces a tall, often crooked flowering stem, and then dies. The satellite rosettes take its place. Propagation is from seed and by severing prostrate stems to free and root offsets.
Give this plant well drained, neutral to alkaline soil in...

(Miniature Century Plant, Silver Dollar, Toumey's Century Plant)
The small effusive rosettes of Toumey's century have sharp slender blades edged with slender white edges that pull away like delicate white scribbles. Though compact it makes a dramatic addition to any desert rock garden or container. This all-American native naturally exists in the mountains of Arizona. It is an unusually hardy species that can withstand periods of freezing as long as growing conditions remain dry, particularly at the root zone.

(Fairy-ring Agave, Miniature Century Plant, Toumey's Bella Agave)
The super cute variety bella of Toumey's century plant is much smaller with shorter more uniform leaves and denser rosettes. Its flower stalk is also smaller.

(Utah Agave, Utah Century Plant)
The unusually hardy Agave utahensis is a largely high desert perennial with dramatic, structurally interesting foliage. It is naturally found in scrubby rocky spots of the Mojave and Upper Sonoran deserts, from California to Utah. Its sharp spiny rosettes are formidable with grayish brown terminal spines at the tips of the dagger-like leaves. It can withstand periods of freezing as long as growing conditions remain dry.

(Kaibab Agave, Utah Century Plant)
This beautiful subspecies of Agave utahensis naturally grows on the rocky limestone slopes of the Kaibab Plateau of northern Arizona. It forms a pleasing rosette of narrow darker green lanceolate leaves making it well-suited for rock garden culture.
