Agave americana var. 'Mediopicta Alba' - White Striped Century Plant

Market price from $38.99 to $58.99

Agave americana var. 'Mediopicta Alba' is a gem in the world of succulent enthusiasts, admired as a distinctive embodiment of resilience and grandeur. Affectionately dubbed as the 'White Striped Century Plant', it demands attention with its oversized silver-blue leaves streaked with an unmissable, pure white stripe contrast. This hardy perennial, stretching up to 6 feet in height and width, finds home in full sun, craving little water in the bargain. The true spectacle, however, arrives potentially only once in its lifetime, as a single spectacular eruption of yellow flowers bursts into life after 10-30 years. And while this signals the end of life for the original plant, a progeny of new plants spring from its base, ensuring an enduring legacy. While perfect as a standalone centerpiece, this sun-loving specimen can also punctuate your landscape design with its unmistakable architectural silhouette and year-round visual interest. Please note that due to its sharp leaf tips, handle with care, and provide a safe haven indoors during frosty winters. This majestic addition of low-maintenance beauty will undoubtedly elevate the charm of any xeriscape or dry landscape garden.
