Murphy's Agave |
This is a medium-sized agave to about 3' tall and wide. The blue-green to grey-green leaves show striking bud imprints of the surrounding leaves. This agave tolerates extreme heat and full sun with minimal supplemental irrigation. This form was domesticated by Native Americans for the sugary heart at blooming. Similar to Agave americana but with smaller scale. Pups will fill in after parent dies.-Mountain States Nursery

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
