I am not a professional nor an expert in Agavaceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. Photos are for reference only. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. We offer 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. Please read the front page for ordering information.

White-Striped
Century Plant - A medium sized century plant to 3 to 4 feet tall by 4 to 6 feet
wide with a bold greenish cream central stripe and blue green margins. As with
the species there are recurved spines on the margins and a long terminal spine.
Yellow-green flowers attract hummingbirds, however the Century Plant doesn't
bloom until it is a decade or so old (not a century!) and the plant dies after
flowering. Plant in full sun. Irrigate occasionally to not at all. Cold hardy to
15 degrees F. This is a large dramatic plant but care must be exercised when
choosing to plant. Give it plenty of room and situate it away from traffic. Good
on a hillside. This is a very pretty Agave. Nursery origin. Growing in a 6" pot.
