Agave attenuta

ELEMENTS OF ART – Curves and Lines and Colour

This is one of the most attractive and popular Agaves.
The species comes from central Mexico has very wide, unarmed, fleshy and soft, pale green to blue green leaves with a felty texture,
and forms a leaning or creeping trunk with age.

It is also known as “elephant’s trunk”, "lion's tail", "swan's neck", or "foxtail"
for its development of a curved stem when it flowers
