(Blue Wave Agave, Century Plant)

The rippled, arching, shark-toothed leaves of this Mexican native set it apart from other agaves. Native to gypsum-rich hillside soils in Jalisco, Michoacan, and Guerrero, it is well suited for gardens with well-drained alkaline soil. The deeply serrated, upcurled edges of the fleshy, blue-green, evergreen leaves give the appearance of being cut by pinking shears. Occurring in single rosettes that make few offsets, the long narrow wavy-edged leaves curve down at their tips. Rarely produced, the flowers...

(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...

(New Mexico Century Plant, Parry's Agave)

The tight blue-hued rosettes of this compact Agave have unmatched symmetry and are great for smaller garden spaces. New Mexico century plant is native to the mountains and dry washes of Mexico and extends northward into the dry desert regions of Texas and New Mexico.

The wide fleshy leaves narrow towards the top and end with a sharp black tip. Most agaves produce offsets around their base but this one is reluctant to do so, making propagation time consuming and plants more expensive....

(Weber's Agave, Weber's Century Plant)

A huge silvery blue agave ideal for large, open gardens where it can achieve its magnificent stature, this succulent evergreen is naturalized in Mexico and Texas but is unknown in the wild. Like sisal (Agave sisalana), it may have originated in ancient Mexico as a cultivated hybrid grown for its fibers. Forming immense rosettes atop short trunks, the long, dagger-shaped, spine-tipped leaves vary in size as well as in the presence of minute marginal teeth. Blue coloring becomes more pronounced...
