A medium-sized Agave that will remain at 3-5 feet tall and wide, the Foxtail is so named for its flowers’ resemblance to the small mammal’s distinctive appendage. Clusters of greenish yellow flowers are borne on 10-14 foot long spikes that droop downward from the weight of its burden. Spineless 2 ½ foot long grey-green fleshy strap-shaped leaves are a refreshing alternative to other Agaves’ scary spines and spikes. Popular in containers and water-conserving gardens, it tends to grow best in frost-free inland areas. Reaching approximately 5 feet across, its manageable size makes it well-suited to today’s smaller gardens.
