Agave parryi (Parry's Agave) Texas native Variegated FritillaryThis slow growing Agave forms a compact rosette of silver blue leaves that have marginal dark brown teeth and very prominent dark tips. Each rosette will flower only once, usually at some point between 10 15 years, sometimes 20 30 years.
