Foxtail Agave is a “soft agave” that is gentle to the touch with pliable leaves and smooth edges. Ray of Light Foxtail Agave is a collectible selection with variegated foliage in green and creamy white. Excellent filling a raised bed or in a large container. It thrives in full coastal sun but will appreciate afternoon protection in harsher inland climates. Foxtail Agave gets its name from the long bushy bloom stalk that curves out from the center of its rosette. Flowering occurs only once in its lifetime, and then it will replace itself with bulbil plantlets formed along the stalk. ‘Ray of Light’ is a tropical agave that is sensitive to cold climates. Frost protection should be provided at temperatures below 28F.
