A very popular succulent in the landscape for its clean lines and architectural form, the Blue Fox Tail Agave forms large rosettes of wide, pointed, silver-blue leaves. Individual rosettes grow to 4-5’ wide and tall. Named after Fred Boutin of the Huntington Botanical Garden, this plant is bluer than the straight species. Older plants send up tall 5-10’ stalks of yellow flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Frost-tender at 25-30° F, plant these spectacular agaves in cool sun or light shade in hotter areas. While tolerant of drought, ‘Boutin Blue’ can tolerate rich soil and regular water with good drainage.
