Agave Americana Var. Mediopicta

Agave americana var. mediopicta is a striking succulent known for its unique appearance and hardy nature. This variant of the agave plant features a tall, spiky rosette with wide, blue-green leaves that have distinctive white and yellow marginal bands. Native to Mexico, it thrives in arid and semi-arid climates with minimal water requirements. Its ability to store water in its thick leaves makes it an ideal plant for xeriscaping and rock gardens. Despite its beauty, it requires caution due to its sharp spines and toxic sap.
