Hailing from Mexico, Agave funkiana "Fatal Attraction" is potentially a subspecies of Agave lophantha. With rosettes reaching 3-4 ft in size, this plant is characterized by stunning variegated and spiny foliage. For safety and maintenance purposes, this beauty should be planted a few feet away from paths and other nearby plants. When established, Agave "Fatal Attraction" can take over a garden section quickly, producing copious offsets in a matter of years.

This small, attractive agave has stout, bluish-green leaves with a central mid green band culminating in a dark spine. Potentially hardy outside on the west coast if kept dry. Elsewhere 'Fatal Attraction' makes an easy houseplant in the winter and patio plant in the summer.

Another selection of the already handsome A. funkiana, this with darker green leaves and and pale green midstripe down the center. Leaves are narrow and toothed, ending in a dark and pointed spine tip. For sun and well-drained soil, as expected. Drought tolerant but occasional summer water speeds growth. Less frost hardy than the species, to 15F, mid USDA zone 8. Does well in containers.
