Overview

The Weber's Blue Tequila Agave (Agave tequilana) is a large, succulent perennial prized for its distinctive rosette of pointed blue-green leaves. With its potential to reach up to 5 feet in height and spread 6 to 8 feet wide, this drought-tolerant specimen is ideal for creating a focal point in xeriscaped landscapes. Its leaves terminate in sharp spines, cautioning against planting in high-traffic areas. Appearances may vary at maturity.
