Variegated Americana 'Marginata aurea' Agave |
Yellow-Striped Century Plant
Variegated Agave - Agave americana 'Marginata aurea' - Cold Hardy - Easy! - Cactus family - These are not the variety that have the recurving leaves. The leaves fold downward as they grow larger and larger. The colors are pale gray-green to cream white light yellow variegation coated in a light glaucous powder. This is a variegated form of the grey / blue century plant. Despite some reports it is very cold hardy withstanding our long temperatures directly in unprotected weather of 22º for over 14 hours. They are a rigid and medium growing, fool proof plant. You can't really go wrong these unless you plant them to close to your home or driveway. Do keep in mind that they are sharp and have barbs along the leaves that could be dangerous to children or people that are not watching their step. Also could be dangerous to unwanteds on your property. They are versatile and can take extreme cold or extreme heat. Adds a wonderful desert feel atmosphere and act as a wonderful landscape plant when planted strategically for the contrast. Medium growing plants that produce pups (offsets) throughout their lifecycle. Some cultures eat the leaves as a cooked treat from the Blue/Grey variety which is also the same plants that the Nectar is produced. The variegated marginata aurea Makes a perfect center piece or wide drive entranceway plant. If you want these or any similar species to grow large, do not allow them to bloom. If you keep these plants from blooming they will continue to grow until who knows? These agave plants are easy to grow, do not endure a shock period and should be producing pups for you soon after established in your garden. The plant in the photo represents a larger image of the species you will receive.
