Agave murpheyi
Murphy's Agave
Description
This is a medium-sized Agave to about 3' tall and wide. The blue green to gray green leaves show striking bud imprints of the surrounding leaves. This Agave tolerates extreme heat and full sun with minimal supplemental irrigation. It is similar to Agave americana but with a smaller scale. A mature plant may produce green flowers; then the plant dies. The pups will fill in and mature.
