The largest of the Agave species, the Agave Americana, commonly called the Century Plant, grows long, pointed green leaves that appear to stem straight from the ground. The Variegated Century Plant grows quicker (compared to other cacti), establishing thick leaves in a heavy 'pup' cluster that can reach up to 3 feet from the base. The 'variegated' variety of Century Plant is similar in most respects to the non-variegated, aside from the notable difference in leaf color. Variegated Century Plants boast a lighter, fleshier green leaf with a creamy white to yellow marginal variegation.
Native to Texas, the Century Plant loves hot weather but is also cold-hardy enough to survive our coldest winters. It tolerates full to partial sun exposure. Despite its large size and striking appearance, it is relatively low-maintenance and is used in xeriscaping and desert gardens.

"I like these agaves in my yard. It's a traditional Century Plant Agave Americana, but with variegated leaves. This adds some nice variety to a desert or native xeriscape type yard. I have mine mixed with some Moroccan Mounds, Fire Sticks, Golden Barrel Cacti, and Blue Glow Agaves. "
