Agave ovatifolia ‘Giant’ – Giant Whale’s Tongue Century Plant

Description

Agave ovatifolia ‘Giant’ is a striking, architectural succulent prized for its large, symmetrical rosette of broad, bluish-gray leaves with gently scalloped edges. This cultivar is notably larger than the typical form, often reaching 1.2 to 1.5 meters tall and up to 2 meters wide at maturity. Extremely drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for xeriscaping and desert-style landscapes. Hardy to light frost, it provides year-round structure and visual impact. Like other agaves, it is monocarpic, flowering once late in life with an impressive tall bloom stalk.
