    A really wild colored Joe Hoak hybrid with variegation and albomargination. Every leaf looks a little different in coloring. This is a really flashy agave! Growing in 1 gallon pots. An urn shaped agave with a stout base and upright growing leaves. Great for landscape. Grows to about 3 feet wide by 3 feet tall.
