DESCRIPTION
Agave americana ‘Variegata’ forms a bold rosette of thick, sword-shaped leaves edged in creamy yellow with blue-green centers. Evergreen foliage bears fine marginal teeth and a firm terminal spine, maintaining a strong architectural presence through the seasons. Mature plants eventually produce a tall summer flowering stalk carrying branched clusters of yellow-green blooms, after which the rosette declines, reflecting its monocarpic habit.
Used as a focal specimen in warm-climate landscapes, containers, or sheltered courtyards, the variegated foliage provides enduring structure and luminous contrast. Offsets slowly expand the planting over time, allowing long-term presence in dry garden compositions and architectural plantings throughout the year.
