Agave americana var. medio-picta 'Alba' White Striped Century Plant - 5 Gallon   Size: 5 Gallon Height: 10-18" Width: 10-18" Exposure:  Sun or Partial Shade Spacing:  1-2 ft. Water Needs: Low Water Foliage: Evergreen Bloom Season:  Bloom Color:  Height (at Maturity):   3-5 ft. Width (at Maturity):   4-6 ft.   Agave americana var. medio-picta 'Alba' (White Striped Century Plant) is a slow-growing, succulent plant known for its large, rosette-forming leaves with white stripes. The leaves are stiff and fleshy, with sharp tips and teeth along the margins, and they can grow up to 4-6 feet long and 2-3 feet wide. The leaves are a glossy green color with white stripes that run along the length of the leaf, creating a striking contrast. White Striped Century Plant is a cultivar of the popular Agave americana and is often used for ornamental purposes. The plant produces a tall, spike-like stalk that can reach up to 20 feet tall and is topped with a large inflorescence of yellow or yellow-green flowers. Once the plant has flowered, it will die, but it will often produce offsets or "pups" that can be propagated to form new plants. Agave americana var. medio-picta 'Alba' is a popular choice for xeriscape gardens, rock gardens, and succulent gardens. It is drought-tolerant and requires well-draining soil, making it a low-maintenance plant for hot, dry climates. With its unique, variegated leaves and striking appearance, White Striped Century Plant is a standout in any garden.      

Select a sunny location with excellent drainage. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and set the plant so the base of the rosette sits level with the soil surface. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water lightly. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, especially during the establishment period.

Agave americana var. medio-picta ‘Alba’ is a striking variegated succulent featuring broad blue-green leaves with a bold creamy-white central stripe. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. This dramatic accent plant requires very little maintenance.

Water sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry. Fertilization is rarely necessary. Remove damaged or spent leaves as needed. Like other century plants, it produces a tall flowering spike at maturity, after which the main rosette declines while offsets (pups) continue the plant’s lifecycle.

3. How big does Agave americana ‘Alba’ get?

It typically grows 4–6 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide, slightly smaller than the green form.
