Why Choose the Agave Parrasana?
This low-maintenance agave is an excellent choice for lovers of Mediterranean gardens. Its compact size makes it a perfect fit for smaller gardens or patios, while its good winter hardiness makes it suitable for the Dutch climate. Its special blue-gray color and architectural shape make it a stylish addition to any outdoor space.
The Agave parrasana, also known as the Parras agave, is a compact, drought-tolerant plant with blue-gray leaves and sharp brown spines. After many years of growth, this plant produces a striking flower stalk that can grow up to 4 meters tall. Originally from Mexico, it is an easy plant to care for, provided there is enough sunlight and well-drained soil.
Pruning
When pruning the Agave, it is important to be careful because of the sharp points and spines along the leaves. Use a sharp, clean pair of pruning shears to cut off dead or damaged leaves close to the base of the plant. Be sure to wear gloves to protect yourself from the sharp edges. Prune only when necessary and otherwise leave the plant alone to maintain its natural appearance.
Water requirement
The Agave parrasana is an easy plant to care for when it comes to watering. It needs sufficient sunlight and well-drained soil. Although it is drought-resistant, it can use some water every now and then in the summer. In the winter, it is important to limit watering, especially in colder areas. This plant thrives both in pots and in the ground.
Power supply
Agave plants require minimal feeding and can thrive in dry conditions due to their moisture-retentive leaves. Plant Agaves in well-drained soil or cactus soil. Hardy varieties can tolerate frost down to -9 degrees Celsius and should be protected with bubble wrap or fleece in cold weather. Limit watering during the winter months, especially in cold areas.
Location
The Agave parrasana, also known as the Parras agave, thrives best in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Place the plant in a sheltered spot in the garden or in a large pot with holes in the bottom. This succulent is very drought tolerant and can withstand frost down to -9 degrees. In winter, the soil should remain dry to prevent damage to the plant.

On Monday morning I ordered 3 olive trees and the next morning the truck was already at the stop. Great! I also had a question about the right size of a pot for the olive trees and via Whatsapp I quickly got an answer to my question.
— Sven
Good pleasant communication, also using photos, when selecting an olive tree. The transport company handled the tree carefully and delivered it close to the planting hole.
