Blue Fox Tail Agave

The Blue Fox Tail Agave is a stunning blue-grey selection of the Agave attenuata. Like the species, this chalky blue-grey attenuata is gentle and graceful with smooth, pliable leaves free from menacing teeth or claws. But, unlike the prolific green Fox Tail Agave, ‘Boutin Blue’ is more of a lone wolf, a solitary rosette that seldom pups, if ever.Agave attenuata ‘Boutin Blue’, also known as ‘Nova’, is a frost-tender, beautiful agave with a large rosette and an unusual, trunk-forming stem. This moderately growing agave seldom produces offsets or pups. The individual rosette may grow 4 to 5 ft. wide and has 15 to 35 leaves that are blue-grey or blue-green, soft, slightly curved, and wider in the middle. The smooth, light grey, bare stem is stout and distinctive, slowly reaching a height up to 3 ft. tall or more. Compared to regular green Agave attenuata, ‘Boutin Blue’ has blue, broader leaves and an erect flower spike.The soft, harmless leaves make Blue Fox Tail Agave a great choice near
