Agave Attenuata is a stunning, soft-leaved succulent known for its elegant, arching flower spike that resembles a foxtail. Unlike other agave species, it lacks sharp spines, making it a safer choice for gardens and pathways. The broad, fleshy, pale green leaves form a striking rosette, creating an architectural focal point in any landscape.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Agave Attenuata is perfect for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant gardens. Its dramatic flower spike can reach up to 3 metres tall, displaying clusters of creamy-green flowers before the plant gradually declines, leaving behind offsets for continued growth.
