The silvery blue leaves of Agave ovatifolia make a nice backdrop for the pink flowers of Penstemon parryi.

In the cooler, coastal, low elevation zone and the high elevation zone, try plants such as Agastache species and hybrids, Aquilegia chrysantha, Caryopteris ×clandonensis, Nepeta species, and Perovskia atriplicifolia.

The wide, deeply cupped, silvery blue leaves resembling a huge whale’s tongue create a look that is truly unique in the agave world.
