The Fox Tail Agave features wide, tapered leaves ranging from pale to silvery green, making it the perfect complement to deeper green or red foliage in your landscape. Unlike other succulents, its leaves don't feature teeth or spines, making it a friendlier addition to your landscape.
But the real show of the Fox Tail Agave comes from its incredibly unique flowers. When mature, the Foxtail Agave blooms with a tall, curving stalk covered in tiny, yellow-green flowers, resembling an animal tail or neck.
