Couesi Agave

One of the smaller and more cold hardy selections of Agave parryi. This plant forms large clumps of flat-topped rosettes. Its leaves are linear and are blue green in color. This variety is native to central Arizona, occurring at elevations from 4500 to 800 feet. At the end of its life cycle a stunning flower spike emerges, with red buds opening to reveal bright yellow flowers. This agave will need some additional moisture in heat of summer. It is very cold hardy, tolerating temperatures down to 0° F.
