Agave ovatifolia

From: £44.99

Agave ovatifolia grows at an elevation of 1000-2130 m, right at the top of the Sierra de Lampazos in Mexico. The local people call this agave 'noga' and harvest its massive flowers because it's an ideal cattle food. It belongs to the Parryanae group and is closely related to A. havardiana and A. parrasana, and just like A. havardiana it has proven to be one of the best agaves for cold, wet climates, more successfully than almost all other species.

Agave ovatifolia is solitary growing and makes no offsets; after many years it will flower and die. It grows a hemispherical rosette, which will in ideal conditions reach 80 cm in height  and 120 cm width, but in cultivation plants are known that reached a length of 150 cm and became 200 cm wide. The silver-blue to greyish-blue leaves are short and broad and distinctively cupped. The leaves are ovate to ovate-elliptic. Agave ovatifolia is also called 'Whale's Tongue' as a result of the short, wide, distinctively cupped leaf blade and groove on the upper surface of the blade. As most agaves they tolerate most soil types as long as drainage is good, the growth rate is moderate and plants grow best when given ample water and fertilizer.
