Agave Attenuata
Bring a touch of desert elegance to your garden with the captivating Agave attenuata, commonly known as the Fox Tail Agave or Swan's Neck Agave. This stunning succulent, native to the plateaus of central Mexico, is admired for its graceful form, spineless leaves, and impressive curving flower stalk that resembles a fox's tail.
Features:
Spineless Beauty: Unlike many Agaves, Agave attenuata is unarmed, meaning it lacks teeth or terminal spines on its leaves. This makes it a safer choice for gardens with children or pets.
Graceful Rosette: The smooth, ovate leaves, in shades of pale green to grey-green, form a symmetrical rosette that can reach up to 4 feet wide. The leaves gracefully arch backwards, creating an elegant and flowing form.
Impressive Flower Stalk: In mature plants, a tall, curving flower stalk emerges from the center of the rosette, reaching up to 10 feet in height. This stalk is adorned with densely packed, pale greenish-yellow flowers, adding a dramatic and captivating element to the landscape.
Drought-Tolerant: As a succulent, Agave attenuata thrives in arid conditions and requires minimal watering once established.
Low-Maintenance: This hardy succulent is easy to care for, needing only full sun and well-draining soil to flourish.
Ideal For:
Architectural Accent: Its unique form and graceful curves make it a captivating focal point in any garden or landscape.
Xeriscaping: Its drought tolerance makes it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and xeriscapes.
Container Gardening: This agave can also be grown in containers, adding a touch of the exotic to patios or balconies.
Care Tips:
Sunlight: Provide full sun exposure for optimal growth and health.
Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
