Water Needs: Low Water Foliage: Evergreen Bloom Season:  Bloom Color:  Height (at Maturity):   3-5 ft. Width (at Maturity):   3-5 ft. Soil Preference:     Agave Ovatifolia is a slow-growing succulent that is prized for its striking blue-green foliage. The leaves are broad, oval-shaped, and arranged in a rosette pattern, and can grow up to 2 feet in length. This plant is drought tolerant and can thrive in full sun or bright light, making it ideal for xeriscaping or for use in hot, dry climates. It is low maintenance and easy to care for, requiring well-drained soil and minimal watering. In maturity, it produces a tall, sturdy flower stalk with yellow or red flowers, adding to its ornamental appeal. The Agave Ovatifolia is a popular choice for rock gardens, borders, or as a focal point in a succulent garden. It can also be grown in pots and makes a stunning indoor plant. Its bright blue-green color and unique, oval-shaped leaves make it a standout in any garden.    

Choose a planting location with full sun to partial shade and excellent drainage. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and set the plant so the base of the rosette sits level with the soil surface. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water lightly. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. This agave tolerates cooler temperatures better than many others but still requires well-drained soil.

Agave ovatifolia, commonly known as Whale’s Tongue Agave, is a bold, architectural agave prized for its large, broad blue-gray leaves and strong, symmetrical rosette form. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and notably cold-hardy compared to many agaves.

Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Fertilization is rarely necessary. Remove damaged or aging leaves as needed. Due to its size and dramatic presence, this agave works best as a focal point in large containers, rock gardens, and modern landscapes.
