Agave ovatifolia — Whale’s Tongue Century Plant
Bold • Sculptural • Low Maintenance
Agave ovatifolia, commonly known as the Whale’s Tongue Century Plant, is a stunning architectural succulent prized for its broad, cupped, blue-grey leaves that resemble a whale’s tongue. Forming a perfectly symmetrical rosette, this slow-growing agave adds dramatic structure and elegance to any landscape or container.
Native to the highlands of Mexico, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for rock gardens, water-wise landscapes, or as a striking focal point. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Unlike many other agaves, Agave ovatifolia rarely produces offsets, maintaining its clean, sculptural form throughout its long life.
