agave parryi truncata (artichoke agave)
Dense symmetrical rosettes of wide blue-gray leaves are abundant, developing large clumps. Rosettes 2 - 4 feet wide forming clumps 5 feet or more across. Flower spikes 15 to 20 feet tall. USDA cold hardiness zone 6 - 9. Average minimum temperature -10 to 0 F. Full sun.
This variety has been hardy in PNW gardens for years. Good drainage is key in soil that has been heavily amended with rocks and pumice. Place the rosette (carefully) at an angle so that winter rains do not collect. Forming an upright rosette 2' tall and wide in time. Little supplemental water is needed.
