Description
Agave desmettiana ‘Variegata’, commonly known as Variegated Smooth Agave, is a refined and architectural succulent prized for its elegant, spineless foliage and bold variegation. Its broad, gracefully arching leaves feature rich green centers edged with creamy-yellow margins, creating clean contrast and year-round visual interest. Unlike many agaves with sharp terminal spines, this variety has relatively smooth leaf edges, making it a more landscape-friendly option for entryways, pool areas, and modern garden designs. Maturing to approximately 3–4 feet tall and wide, this agave forms a symmetrical rosette that serves as a strong focal point in desert, Mediterranean, and waterwise landscapes across the Southwest. Extremely drought tolerant once established, it thrives in hot, dry climates with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. The variegation becomes more vibrant in bright light, enhancing its ornamental appeal.
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.
