Agave ovatifolia, commonly referred to as the Whale's Tongue Agave or Parry's Agave, is a remarkable succulent indigenous to the northeastern reaches of Mexico.

In its natural habitat, this Agave species flourishes under the sun's embrace, thriving in full sunlight to partial shade. Its majestic presence is marked by a commanding size, with mature specimens boasting widths spanning from 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) and heights reaching 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters).

A testament to resilience, Agave ovatifolia is renowned for its exceptional drought tolerance, making it a prized gem in regions characterized by arid climates. Its ability to thrive with minimal water makes it a cherished component of water-wise gardening and xeriscape designs, where it often serves as a focal point in rock gardens or arid landscapes.

Despite its grand stature, this Agave species boasts low-maintenance requirements, further enhancing its appeal to gardeners seeking both beauty and ease of care. Its striking foliage, characterized by a unique color and form, captivates onlookers and provides a continuous source of visual interest throughout the year. Whether planted as a solitary specimen or incorporated into a larger garden scheme, 'Vanzie' stands as a magnificent addition to any outdoor space, commanding attention and admiration with its unrivaled allure.
