Agave attenuata

The sculptural Agave attenuata offers a striking twist on the classic agave form. Its smooth, spineless leaves curve gracefully into a rosette shape, creating a soft, flowing silhouette rarely seen in the genus. The foliage displays a cool blue-green to silvery-grey hue, giving it a refined and modern look. Unlike many agaves, this one lacks the typical spines or thorns, making it both child- and pet-friendly in gardens and patios.

What sets Agave attenuata apart is its dramatic flowering habit. Mature plants produce a towering, arching flower spike that can reach up to 3 meters, resembling a large green swan’s neck—hence one of its popular nicknames. Its architectural form is perfect for minimalist landscapes, rock gardens, or sculptural containers. It thrives equally in coastal gardens or xeriscapes thanks to its tolerance of drought and poor soil.
