Agave - Century Variegated

Like their pure blue cousin, these agaves have wide leaves armed with sharp marginal spines, but these are richly variegated with vertical stripes of bright yellow to golden color along the leaf edges, with gray green to blue-green center stripe. In time, these slow to moderate growers can produce leaves up to 10 ft. long with sexy curves and twists, but most of their youth is spent as well-behaved, rigidly upright vase-shaped accent plants of 3 to 6 ft. high & wide. Very drought tolerant.
