Agave Americana Variegata

Description

Agave americana ‘Variegata’ is a stunning variegated form of the iconic Century Plant, celebrated for its bold foliage and impressive size. Its thick, fleshy, sword-like leaves grow in a rosette pattern, featuring deep blue-green centers with striking creamy-yellow margins. The gracefully arching leaves are lined with sharp spines, adding to its dramatic, desert-inspired appearance. Over time, this slow-growing succulent can reach up to 4-6 feet (120-180 cm) in height and width, making it a standout feature in any garden.

Perfect for full sun and well-draining soil, Agave americana ‘Variegata’ is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in arid, coastal, and Mediterranean landscapes. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens, large containers, or as a statement plant in dry borders. Once mature, it may produce an extraordinary flower spike reaching up to 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) tall, adorned with clusters of yellow-green blooms that attract pollinators. With minimal care requirements and impressive structural appeal, Agave americana ‘Variegata’ is an exceptional addition to any low-maintenance, water-wise garden.
