Introducing the foxtail agave, known as Agave attenuate, which is a striking century plant that belongs to the Agave genus. The name "Foxtail" comes from the flower blooms that look a little like a fox's tail. The Foxtail Agave is a striking plant that adds a touch of elegance to succulent gardens or landscapes.

The foxtail Agave attenuata has several other common names such as lion's tail agave, swan's neck agave, spineless century plant, dragon tree agave, and Agave cernua.


The striking foxtail Agave attenuata has soft, fleshy pale-bluish to yellow-green leaves that are completely spineless.

It can grow up to 4 feet tall and 7 feet wide, making it an attractive succulent that can stand out as a focal point in a garden.

When the Foxtail Agave blooms, a tall flower spike that reaches up to 10 feet in height emerges in the summer from a rosette.

The spike is covered in yellow flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds.

This foxtail agave is very popular in Southern California because it looks so beautiful in your landscape and produces unique pale green-yellowish blooms once in its life after 10 years. Keep them 8 feet apart when placing multiple plants in a landscape. 

After blooming, the Foxtail Agave will produce bulbils at the base of the flower spike, which can be used for propagation. Once the flowers have faded, the plant will eventually die, but new pups will grow from the base to continue the cycle. 

Propagation of Agave attenuata is commonly done through offsets or "pups" that grow around the base of the parent plant. These offsets can be carefully removed and replanted to grow new Foxtail Agave plants.

With minimal water and full sun exposure requirements, this perennial is perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance, high-impact addition to their garden or indoor space. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering the Foxtail Agave, it's essential to understand its watering needs to keep it healthy and thriving. Foxtail Agave is a drought-tolerant succulent, meaning it can withstand periods of dryness. It's crucial not to overwater this plant, as it is more susceptible to root rot if the soil remains consistently damp.

To water your Foxtail Agave effectively, it's best to follow a "soak and dry" method. This means thoroughly watering the plant, allowing excess water to drain out of the pot, and then letting the soil dry out completely before watering again.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water your Foxtail Agave about once every 2-3 weeks, adjusting based on the environmental conditions and soil moisture levels.

In the fall and winter, during the dormant period, you should reduce watering to once a month or even less, as the plant's growth slows down during this time. Always check the soil moisture before watering to ensure that the top few inches of soil are dry before giving your Foxtail Agave a drink. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors, your foxtail agave thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day but ensure that direct sunlight does not hit the leaves for extended periods to prevent sunburn. If your indoor space lacks natural light, you can supplement it with grow lights to meet the plant's light requirements.

When growing Foxtail Agave outdoors, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. In outdoor settings, place the plant in a location where it can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. However, in regions with intense heat, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from scorching. Ensure proper spacing between plants when planting outdoors to allow adequate airflow and sunlight exposure.

Learn to adjust your fox tail agave to avoid burns if the location where you have the plant is exposed to a lot of sunlight.  Gradually increase the exposure before transplanting plants until they can handle the full sun. 

It's critical to remember that during a heatwave or periods of extreme heat, your agave attenuata could still sustain sun damage or get sunburned. You can protect the plant in this situation by moving it indoors or to a shaded area. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The foxtail agave favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix that contains mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing the foxtail agave, remember that less is more. A small amount of fertilizer once a year in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using a balanced fertilizer of NPK (5-10-5) ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your Agave attenuata succulent some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive.  

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the foxtail Agave thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 65-75°F. It's crucial to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts, as they can stress the plant. Additionally, maintaining moderate humidity levels around 40-50% can benefit the plant, especially in drier indoor environments. You can increase humidity by placing a humidity tray filled with water near the plant or using a room humidifier.

For outdoor cultivation, your foxtail Agave is typically suited for USDA hardiness zones 9-11, where temperatures do not drop below 20°F. This plant thrives in warm climates with mild winters. If the temperature drops below 35 F, the plant may experience frost damage. Frost can cause the leaves of the fox tail agave to become discolored or mottled, and in severe cases, it can cause the wilting of leaves or flowers eventually fall.

So, if you live in cold temperatures or your location is not suited for raising foxtail agave, then you should grow them as potted plants and bring them in as the temperature drops. To protect this flowering plant from frost, it is recommended to cover it with a frost cloth or move it to a warmer location in your home. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Foxtail Agave is a stunning plant that requires specific care to thrive both indoors and outdoors. By providing well-draining soil, occasional balanced fertilization during the growing season, and maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity levels, you can ensure the health and beauty of your Foxtail Agave. Understanding its hardiness zones and temperature requirements is crucial for successful cultivation, whether you choose to grow it indoors or outdoors. With the right conditions and care, the Foxtail Agave can be a striking addition to your coastal garden.
