Vanzie Whale's Tongue Agave
Agave ovatifolia 'Vanzie'
SKU
41067
Very attractive and interesting agave with deeply channeled leaves. More adaptable to damp, cool climates than other blue agaves. Soft blue-gray leaves are abundant, developing large clumps with age. A striking accent for the sunny, water-wise landscape. Makes a handsome statement when in mass plantings. Evergreen.
