Variegated Fox Tail Agave

This Variegated Fox Tail Agave is an attractive selection of the Agave attenuata. Like the species, ‘Ray of Light’ is gentle and graceful, characterized by smooth, pliable leaves free from menacing teeth or claws. However, this Fox Tail Agave has white stripes that stylishly borders each green leaf.

Agave attenuata ‘Ray of Light’ is a frost-tender, elegant agave with large rosettes and an unusual, trunk-forming stem. This moderately-fast growing agave freely produces offsets, creating colonies up to 10 feet wide. It grows faster than ‘Boutin Blue’ but may not be as vigorous as regular green Fox Tail Agave. Each individual rosette may reach 4 ft. wide and has 15 to 35 leaves. The green leaves are adorned with white borders that are more pronounced on younger foliage. The variegation on these soft leaves can vary in width and contrast. The smooth, light grey, bare stem is distinctive and varies in length from 1.5 to 5 ft. from the base.

The soft, harmless leaves make Agave attenuata ‘Ray of Light’ 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. The Variegated Fox Tail Agave 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, and fascinating variegated foliage, Ray of Light Fox Tail Agave adds beauty and lushness to the landscape.
