Looking for a strikingly symmetrical gray-blue rosette of an artichoke agave generously splashed with cream-colored streaks? Introducing a rare succulent plant gem, Agave parryi var. truncata ‘Orizaba’. Each leaf is lined with sharp red teeth and tipped with sharp red spines, giving the plant a highly ornamental look. While less “tough-looking” than a typical artichoke agave, owing to all the cheery creaminess, this highly covetable variegated version is a spectacular landscape, patio, or porch plant nonetheless. Your plant will have distinct variegation but may initially appear more green than blue since it was grown in the safety of a greenhouse. Gradually acclimate the plant to direct light to achieve deeper coloration overall, including the teeth and spines. 

This unique Agave may be on the smaller side now, but it has a bright future ahead of it with the potential to grow up to 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It may produce pups as it ages.
