Full or mostly sun. Evergreen. A variegated form of the century plant, with a perfect white ribbon in the center of each leaf. This agave makes a dramatic statement in the landscape, but it should be placed a good distance from pedestrian areas – remember, it’s armed with thorns and can eventually grow to 8′ wide.
The flowers attract hummingbirds, but the flower stalk only appears after several years, near the end of the plant’s life.
