Weber's Blue Agave
Agave tequilana ‘Weber Blue’, ‘Weber Azul’
Agave tequilana 'Weber Blue', commonly known as Weber's Blue Agave or Tequila Agave, is a striking, evergreen, rosette-forming succulent prized for its bold, architectural form and its role as the primary source of tequila production. Native to Mexico, this dramatic plant features thick, rigid, blue-gray to silvery-blue leaves with sharp, serrated margins and a formidable terminal spine. It forms a large, symmetrical rosette that makes a powerful sculptural statement in any landscape. After many years, mature plants produce a tall, branching flower stalk that attracts pollinators before the rosette completes its life cycle. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and deer-resistant, it is an outstanding choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, containers, slopes, and modern landscapes.
