Lion's tail

Agave attenuata

"Agave attenuata" is a species of agave sometimes known as the lion's tail, swan's neck, or foxtail for its development of a curved inflorescence, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of the State of Jalisco in central Mexico, as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens.

Appearance

Although the plant can appear acaulescent, stems often reach 50 to 150 cm in length, and old leaves fall off, leaving the stems visible. The leaves are ovate-acuminate, 50–70 cm long and 12–16 cm wide, pale in color, ranging from a light gray to a light yellowish green. There are no teeth, nor terminal spines, although the leaves taper to soft points that fray with age. The numerous, egg-shaped and tapered leaves are slightly softer than most Agave species, they are bright glaucous-gray to light yellowish green and stingless.

The inflorescence is a dense raceme 2.5 to 3 meters high, with greenish-yellow flowers, growing after many years.
