Foxtail Agave

Agave attenuata

Foxtail Agave Plant Features

The yellowish-green leaves grow in a handsome rosette near the base, ranging from 20” to 28” inches in length and 5” to 6” inches in width. As the leaves die off, the stems remain visible.
These stems can reach heights of 60” inches. However, the inflorescence can reach up to ten feet.
The arching flower stalk curves back towards the ground and sometimes feature a second arch, resembling a foxtail.
The foxtail agave produces many “suckers” or offshoots. These offshoots increase the clumping of the foliage, resulting in thicker growth.

Foxtail Agave Growing Instructions

The cactus should be planted in partial shade and does very well growing in full sun.

However, if it’s been grown in the shade, it needs to get acclimated to the sun when transplanting.

It is intolerant to frost and freezing temperatures. Avoid planting it outdoors if temperatures drop below 50° degrees Fahrenheit.

Typically, you should aim for a room-temperature environment. While you want to avoid freezing weather, you also want to avoid extreme temperatures.
