Description

Agave americana 'Variegata' Variegated Century Plant - 5 Gallon   Size: 5 Gallon Height: 10-12" Width: 10-12" Exposure:  Sun Spacing:  2-3 ft. Water Needs: Rarely Foliage: Evergreen Bloom Season:  Bloom Color:   Greenish-Yellow Height (at Maturity):   4-8 ft. Width (at Maturity):   4-8 ft. Soil Preference:     Agave americana 'Variegata' Variegated Century Plant is a slow-growing succulent that features striking variegated foliage with creamy-yellow margins and green centers. Its leaves are broad and stiff, arranged in a rosette pattern, and can grow up to 4 feet in length. This plant is known for its ability to store water in its leaves, making it a low maintenance choice for hot, dry climates. It is also drought tolerant, making it ideal for xeriscaping. In maturity, it produces a tall, robust spike that produces yellow flowers, making it a striking addition to any garden. It is a hardy plant that can thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.    

Choose a sunny location with excellent drainage. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and place 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 planting in poorly drained or waterlogged soil.

Agave americana ‘Variegata’ is a dramatic, architectural succulent known for its blue-green leaves edged with creamy yellow margins and sharp terminal spines. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and is extremely drought-tolerant once established.

Water sparingly and only when the soil is fully dry. Fertilization is rarely needed. Remove damaged or aging leaves as necessary. At maturity, the plant produces a tall flowering stalk; after flowering, the main rosette declines while offsets (pups) continue to grow.

1. How often should I water a Variegated Century Plant?

Water sparingly. Once established, occasional deep watering is enough. Overwatering can cause root rot.

2. Does Agave americana ‘Variegata’ bloom only once?

Yes. Like all century plants, it blooms once after many years, then the main rosette dies.

3. How big does this plant get?

It typically grows 6–10 feet tall and 8–12 feet wide, making it best suited for spacious landscapes.

4. Is this plant suitable for containers?

It can be grown in large containers when young, but eventually needs ample space due to its size.
