Agave parryi, known as Parry's agave or mescal agave, a flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae.

Agave parryi features symmetrical rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves with bluish-gray tones. The leaves terminate in sharp, dark tips and have serrated edges that add to its architectural appearance. This plant, part of the Asparagaceae family, thrives in arid regions and is known for its tolerance to drought conditions. It typically grows low to the ground and can produce a tall flowering stalk, although infrequently. Widely used in xeriscaping, this agave is valued for its striking form and low maintenance.
