Agave, San Francisco


Two-story house with pale green and white siding, bay windows, and a variety of succulents—like Agave—thriving in a raised flowerbed along the front, all set under a partly cloudy San Francisco sky.

A lovely garden with many succulents including the large Agave attenuata, as found on Potrero Hill in San Francisco, also known as the Foxtail Agave for it’s large arching bloom stalk.

Agave attenuata is a striking, low-maintenance succulent known for its smooth, soft, green leaves that form a beautiful rosette shape, making it a great focal point in any garden or container. Unlike many agaves, it lacks sharp spines, making it a safer option for households with children or pets. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun or partial shade and can add a modern, architectural look to outdoor spaces.
