A tough-as-nails species, closely related to A. parryi but with narrower, deep blue leaves held upright and out and adorned with gray marginal spines and long, terminal brownish red spines. Slow growing to an eventual 1-2ft tall by 2-3ft wide, offsetting to form colonies. After 15 years or so, produces yellow flowers on a 12ft stalk! Full sun and lean, well-drained soil with occasional deep summer water. This native of southeastern New Mexico is one of the hardiest species; tolerating winter temperatures to -20F, USDA zone 5, where dry with excellent drainage.
