Agave Ovatifolia Vanzie

Agave ovatifolia 'Vanzie'
Common Name: Whale's Tongue Agave

Make a bold impact with the stunning Agave ovatifolia 'Vanzie', a standout succulent celebrated for its dramatic form and silvery-blue foliage. This eye-catching agave adds a sculptural touch to gardens, xeriscapes, and container displays.

Why It Stands Out

Silvery-Blue Elegance: Wide, fleshy leaves in cool shades of silver-blue to gray-blue, often dusted with a powdery bloom.

Striking Rosette Form: Grows into a large, symmetrical rosette that commands attention.

Quick to Establish: Faster-growing than many agaves, making it easier to enjoy sooner.

Drought-Resistant: Low water needs once settled—perfect for water-wise gardens.

Care Guide

Light: Needs full sun for best color and form.

Water: Water deeply but infrequently. Let soil dry completely between waterings.

Soil: Prefers extremely well-draining soil—think rocky or sandy mixes.

Temperature: Protect from frost; ideal for warmer climates or as a container plant that can be moved indoors during cold snaps.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. The plant will be shipped bare rooted.
