Agave attenuata ssp. attenuata
Fox Tail - Lions Tail - Swans Neck
Description
Agave attenuata ssp. attenuata, commonly known as the Foxtail Agave, is a stunning succulent known for its graceful, spineless appearance. This plant is a subspecies of Agave attenuata. Unlike many agaves, it has soft, curving leaves, forming a rosette. The foliage can vary in color from light green to blue-green. It is a relatively slow-growing plant but can reach a considerable size over time. This agave produces a tall, arching flower stalk with pale yellow flowers. Agave attenuata ssp. attenuata thrives in well-draining soil and full sun. Water it sparingly, as it is drought-tolerant. Protection from frost is required.
