Plant Description

The Agave americana 'Marginata Variegated', or Variegated Century Plant, is a dramatic, architectural succulent with striking blue-green leaves edged in yellow. This rosette-forming plant can reach up to 1.5 meters in height and 2.5 meters in width, with each leaf featuring a rigid, sword-like shape and sharp spines along the margins. The variegated leaves create a stunning contrast and add visual interest to any landscape. Though it rarely blooms, when it does, it sends up a tall flower stalk with yellow-green flowers, after which the plant dies, leaving behind offsets for propagation.

IMPORTANT: Picture show adult plant leaves. The offer is for a plant in the dimension indicated in description.
