Its wide, rounded, blue-gray leaves form a perfectly symmetrical rosette about 18 inches tall and wide, like a giant artichoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is among the hardier agaves and very drought tolerant. After many years, a mature plant sends up a towering flower spike, and although the mother rosette then dies, it produces plenty of offsets over its life to replant or share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort, very wide, spoon-shaped leaves are a powdery blue-gray and overlap tightly to form a perfectly symmetrical, rounded rosette like an artichoke. Each leaf ends in a dark brown to black pointed terminal spine, and small dark teeth line the edges. The rosette is about 18 inches tall and 18 inches wide, with small offset rosettes clustering around the base over time. The overall look is a compact, sculptural blue-gray globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike lavender, it wants full sun and sharp drainage, so set it in a container on a gravel patio or among the lavender beds for summer, where its blue-gray rosette echoes lavender's foliage, then move it indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in gravelly, very fast-draining soil and keep it dry, especially in winter. Hardy in zones 6 to 9; in colder or wetter areas grow it in a pot and overwinter it indoors or under cover. Remove offsets to share or replant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave parryi var. truncata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarely flowers (once after many years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powdery blue-gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Symmetrical, rounded rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 in tall × 18 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
