Agave Americana Mediopicta Alba

Description

Agave americana ‘Mediopicta Alba’ is an exquisite and rare variegated variety of the iconic Century Plant, prized for its striking color contrast and bold structure. This medium-sized Agave features long, rigid, slightly curved leaves with a creamy white stripe running down the center, bordered by blue-green margins and sharp, dark spines. Over time, it forms a large, symmetrical rosette, reaching up to 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) in height and width.

This heat- and drought-tolerant succulent thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it ideal for dry gardens, rock landscapes, or as a container specimen. Once established, it requires minimal care, needing only occasional watering during extreme drought conditions. While it rarely blooms, mature plants may produce a towering flower spike with greenish-yellow blooms, attracting pollinators. Agave americana ‘Mediopicta Alba’ is perfect for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually dramatic plant that brings year-round interest and modern elegance to their outdoor or indoor spaces.
