Description
Agave desmetiana 'Variegata' is a medium sized upright agave that forms an upright urn-shaped rosette with 3 foot long by 4 inch wide leaves terminating in sharp reddish-brown spines. The leaves are bright green with yellow variegation along the margins. Spines are minute or nonexistent along the margins
Environment
Agaves need full sun and gritty soil that percolates easily. They can even do quite well when potted but use an unglazed clay pot that will allow evaporation of excess moisture.
Water needs are moderate to light depending upon the heat of the season but the Cactus should be allowed to dry out before irrigation,
In growing season they benefit from the application of a granulated time release fertilizer that will provide nutrient to the plant.
Landscape Uses
Great for Xeriscapes and for containers providing the perfect accent with its shape.
