Agave americana ‘Variegata’, commonly known as the Variegated Century Plant, is a bold, dramatic succulent prized for its massive architectural form and striking cream-and-green foliage. Its broad blue-green leaves are edged with bright creamy-yellow margins, creating powerful contrast and year-round visual impact. This large-growing agave forms an impressive rosette that can reach 6–8 feet wide with leaves extending up to 4 feet long. Its commanding presence makes it ideal as a focal point in desert, Mediterranean, and waterwise landscapes across the Southwest. 

Extremely drought tolerant once established, Variegated Century Plant thrives in hot, dry climates with full sun exposure and excellent drainage. The vibrant variegation intensifies in bright light, adding bold color to gravel gardens, slopes, and large open landscape spaces. At maturity, the plant produces a towering flower stalk that can reach 15–25 feet tall, crowned with clusters of yellow blooms — a spectacular display before completing its natural life cycle.
