Description
Agave americana var. medio-picta ‘Alba’, commonly known as White Striped Century Plant, is a dramatic architectural succulent prized for its bold central white stripe and massive rosette form. Its wide blue-green leaves are accented by a striking creamy-white band running down the center of each leaf, creating powerful contrast and year-round visual impact. This large-growing agave forms an impressive rosette that can reach 6–8 feet wide, with individual leaves extending up to 4–6 feet long. Its commanding size makes it ideal as a focal point in expansive desert, Mediterranean, and waterwise landscapes across the Southwest. The stiff, sculptural leaves feature defined marginal teeth and a sharp terminal spine, adding to its bold presence in the landscape. In full sun, the variegation becomes even more vivid, standing out beautifully against gravel, stone, and modern hardscape designs.
Ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers looking to improve their landscape with healthy, professionally grown plants. Perfect for creating privacy, shade, color, and structure while enhancing curb appeal and outdoor living spaces.
