Agave Parviflora

Agave parviflora, commonly known as the Small-Flower Agave, is a stunning miniature agave species native to Arizona and northern Mexico. It features compact, symmetrical rosettes of dark green leaves accented by distinctive white markings and curly white filaments that give it a unique, ornamental appeal. Despite its small size, it adds bold structure and contrast to succulent gardens and potted displays.

This slow-growing and drought-tolerant species is perfect for small spaces, containers, rock gardens, or collectors seeking rare and architectural plants. It may take many years to flower, but when it does, it sends up a tall, dramatic flower stalk.

Key Features:

• Compact rosette with narrow, dark green leaves

• Attractive white markings and curling marginal threads

• Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance

• Ideal for containers, rock gardens, and collectors

• Very slow-growing and cold-tolerant (down to -10°C)

Care Tips:

• Light: Full sun to part shade. Needs bright light to maintain form.

• Watering: Water sparingly. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm climates but can tolerate light frost. Protect from excessive winter moisture.

• Fertiliser: Occasional feeding in spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertiliser.

• Growth Habit: Slow-growing and solitary; may produce occasional offsets.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. The plant will be shipped bare rooted.
