Plant Description

The Agave potatorum ‘Desert Diamond’, also known as the variegated Desert Diamond agave, is a strikingly elegant, compact succulent prized for its unique foliage. Its rosette consists of short, broad leaves in soft blue-green, edged with creamy-yellow or white variegation and tipped with reddish-brown spines. The edges are subtly wavy, adding to its ornamental appeal. Slow-growing and typically reaching 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) in height and 30–40 cm (12–16 inches) in width, this agave is ideal for pots, rock gardens, and xeriscapes. Its distinctive variegation makes it a collector’s favorite.
