A beautiful albomarginated form of Agave weberi, a large landscaping agave. Outstanding, spineless leaves in a large rosette. A release from Plant Delights Nursery that differs greatly from the regular albomarginated form of weberi. One of the largest growing agaves.

A most fortunate find at Mountain States Nursery of this round, blue-green century plant, to 2', with leaves that are soft for the genus and, in this clone, streaked and edged creamy yellow. Very easy with bright light, good drainage, and occasional summer water. Best kept dry in winter. Vigorous and frost hardy to 15 °F or so, mid USDA zone 8. Otherwise, a fabulous container plant.

By: Cistus Nursery

Wide, fleshy, spine-tipped light blue-green leaves are surrounded by a lovely yellow-cream border. Leaf margins are mostly spineless and leaves are arching. In considerable time, a stunning 20 foot branched flower stalk will shoot up with clusters of yellow blossoms at the ends of each arm. But you needn't wait for that to happen to be wowed daily with its wonderful, colorful, geometric form--a botanical sculpture. It will grow over 6' tall and 3' wide in time, weather and/or container size permitting.
