Common Name: Azul Monterrey Agave
Agave parryi ‘Azul Monterrey’ is a striking selection of Agave parryi known for its broad, thick leaves coated in an intense powdery blue color. Native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States through its parent species, this slow-growing agave forms dense, symmetrical rosettes with strong terminal spines.

Prefers full sun to bright light
Water sparingly; allow soil to dry between waterings
Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent soil mix
Excellent for containers and xeriscape gardens
Frost Tolerance and Cold Hardiness:
Best suited for USDA Zones 7–11
Cold hardy to about 10°F (-12°C) when dry
Protect from prolonged winter moisture
Winter Dormancy and Health:
Growth slows during cooler months
Reduce watering significantly in winter
Color remains strongest in full sun
Notes:
Sharp terminal spines; handle with care
Offsets slowly over time
