Agave americana 'Marginata'
Bluish green foliage edged in yellow. A very popular agave, great for dramatic containers.
Description:
This beautiful variegated form has bluish green leaves edged in gold. Perfect for creating pots of high visual impact on your patio or balcony. Underplant with Echeveria for a sophisticated touch. Reportedly hardy to minus four Celsius, larger plants will likely be fairly hardy if kept dry and given some protection from cold. Smaller plants make a distinctive and no nonsense houseplant over the winter in a sunny window.
