Agave 'Boutin Blue', Agave 'Blue Boy', Agave attenuata 'Nova', Fox Tail Agave 'Boutin Blue', Agave attenuata 'Huntington Blue'
A splendid blue selection of Fox Tail Agave, Agave attenuata ‘Boutin Blue’ is an evergreen succulent perennial which produces elegant rosettes of wide, flexible, blue-green leaves, without any teeth along their margins. Emerging from a tight center, the soft, pliable, voluptuous leaves arch gracefully back. Each individual rosette may reach 5 ft. across (120 cm) and crowns a stout, smooth gray stems that can rise up to 5 ft. tall. Mature plants send up a spectacular, erect flowering stalk, up to 10 ft. tall (300 cm), which bears pale greenish yellow flowers that will give way to seed pods and a profusion of new plantlets. This desirable hybrid Agave is much bluer and has wider leaves than its parent, Agave attenuata.
