| Description | Parry's agave spends most of its days as a rosette of basal leaves. At the end of its life, a long-stemmed flowering stalk forms with abundant flowers that are a rich yellow. The parent plant then dies, often leaving behind offspring that repeat the cycle. There are several varieties, so it is possible to find plants suited to almost any climate in Arizona. |
