This is a very large scale agave that adds drama to a xeriscape landscape. This variegated variety will grow a bit smaller than other A. americana but still in a big way. This is the most common of the variegated Agave americana varieties. Plant in full sun with rapidly draining soil. Too much water will cause agaves to shrivel and die.
