Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

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.
This is one of the only agaves that survives consistently at the Xeriscape Garden. It is a smaller agave, but has made it through many winters. If you're looking for an agave that will survive in Colorado Springs, this is a good option to try.
No maintenance required.
