Fox Tail Agave, Velvet Agave |
This agave makes a bold statement in the garden because of its tropical form. Even light frost can damage succulent leaves. It performs well in containers. In the low desert, partial sun will be best. If it becomes top heavy, simply cut off the top. It is not a fast grower. This agave has light green foliage and NO teeth. This will also die after flowering but pups around the mother will survive. It is distinctive with its large rosette of leaves perched on a long curving trunk.
