Parry's Agave
Parry's agave grows as a beautiful rosette of thick, blue, sword-like leaves with black tips. Compared to other agaves, this one is particularly rosette-like and uniform in shape.
This evergreen plant grows for many years. After one or two decades, it produces a long stalk with a panicle of yellow flowers, then dies. It may produce offshoots from the parent plant.
