Agave Blue Star

Unlike many Agaves, Agave Attenuata is an evergreen perennial succulent which produces a handsome rosette of silvery pale green leaves, without teeth or terminal spines. The rosette is composed of flexible leaves which gracefully arch back, resembling an open flower. This Agave derives its common name from the impressive arching flower stalk which emerges from the rosette in summer. Reaching up to 5-10 ft. in height, it reflexes back towards the ground before arching up again like a foxtail. It bears greenish-yellow flowers which give way to seed pods and many new plantlets. This Agave makes a dramatic focal point or accent & can be used in decorative pots.
