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 pathways or in patio containers. It can be planted as individual accents or in groupings throughout the garden, in borders, or on slopes. Agave attenuata ‘Boutin Blue’ is stunning in succulent gardens, waterwise landscapes, as well as Mediterranean or Southwest garden design styles.

This low-maintenance Agave is easy to grow and drought-tolerant, making it an ideal choice for frost-free gardens of all sizes. With its large, soft rosettes resembling blue flowers, the Blue Fox Tail Agave adds beauty and lushness to the landscape. Order your Blue Fox Tail Agave today for delivery to your home.
