Agave mitis is a plant species native to the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosí,[4] referred to as Agave celsii in many publications.

[2][5] Agave mitis forms rosettes of blue-green to yellow-green, fleshy leaves up to 60 cm (2 feet) long.

The leaves have soft brown spines not nearly as imposing as those of other agaves.

[6][7] The flowering stalk is up to 2.5 m (8 feet) tall, with the flowers closely appressed against the stem forming a narrow column much more compact than most other species of the genus.

[8] Because the species is widespread and grows in several protected areas, it is not considered by the IUCN to be threatened.
