Agave americana ‘Marginata’
Bluish green foliage edged in yellow. A very popular agave, great for dramatic containers.
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.
