Product Description

The Agave asperrima subsp. potosiensis Variegated, also known as the variegated rough-leaf agave, is a robust, medium-sized succulent prized for its dramatic foliage and bold variegation. Its thick, lance-shaped leaves are blue-green with striking creamy-yellow or white variegated edges, adorned with prominent teeth along the margins and a sharp terminal spine. Mature plants form a striking rosette, reaching up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) tall and wide. This highly drought-tolerant agave thrives in arid landscapes, xeriscapes, or large containers, adding a commanding presence to any setting.
