Agave parryi v. huachucensis

Huachuca Agave

A beautiful, cold hardy Agave from the Sky Islands of southern Arizona. The leaves are  lined with attractive reddish-brown to black teeth and a sharp terminal spine. These sought-after Agaves grow in populations in the Huachuca (Wah-choo-Ka) Mtns of Arizona within the Coronado Ntl. Forest. They are adapted to different soil types, but like other Agaves, they perform best in well-drained, loose gravely soils, especially in wetter regions. This variety grows larger than other A. parryi types to around 3-4ft. h & w. Their powder blue color stands out when planted with other perennials, shrubs or other accent plants. Note: In low deserts or hotter inland landscapes, the Hauchuca Agave benefits from afternoon shade. Great plant for containers & collectors. USDA zones 5-11

Exposure Full to part sun

Grows to 3-4 ft. high x 3-4 ft. wide (can grow up to 5ft.)

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING

Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.

BARE ROOT SHIPPING

This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
