Whale's Tongue Agave

Whale’s Tongue Agave is a showstopping species known for its thick, cupped leaves that curve upward like a whale’s tongue. The silver-blue foliage radiates from a tight central core, forming a highly symmetrical rosette up to 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Each leaf is adorned with small marginal teeth and a pronounced terminal spine. It’s a favorite in contemporary and xeric landscapes, where its clean lines and powdery finish add both softness and form. Whale’s Tongue brings year-round structure and thrives even in the intense Texas sun.
