Agave, Whale's Tongue Frosty Blue
Agave ovatifolia 'Frosty Blue'
Large Agave that forms a natural rosette pattern, and can put out offsets through underground rhizomes. The plant can grow up to 36" tall overall, with flower stalks reaching much further. Blooms once full mature, which could take up to 15 years.
Leaves have a sharp spine on the tip of the leaf and more along the leaf margin -- requires care when handling, and should not be planted too close to walkways. Avoid planting in poorly drained areas.
