Plenty To Go Around

If you want a plant that makes a statement, Agave americana 'Variegata' delivers in the most dramatic fashion. This majestic succulent forms a bold rosette of thick, sword-shaped leaves edged in creamy yellow or white, with a sharp terminal spine. Native to Mexico and a staple of dry, sun-drenched landscapes the world over, it is one of the toughest plants you can grow. Note that it is monocarpic, meaning it will produce one spectacular, towering flower spike after many years, usually after 20 to 30 years, and then die. However, it leaves behind a ring of pups to carry on its legacy.

Size - 7-9 cm tall (May 2026)

☀️ Sun	Full sun. This plant demands it and thrives on it.
⚠️ Toxicity	Mildly to moderately toxic. The sap can cause skin and eye irritation. The terminal spine is sharp enough to cause injury. Keep children and pets away.
💧 Watering	Very low. Once a month or less in summer, and minimal to none in winter. One of the most drought-tolerant plants available.
🌿 Fertilising	A single application of a slow-release fertiliser in spring is all it needs, if anything at all. Avoid over-fertilising.
📏 Mature Size	1 to 2 metres tall and 1.5 to 2 metres wide.
🌿 Difficulty	Easy. Extremely tough and self-sufficient.
🎨 Colours	Blue-grey leaves with striking cream or yellow margins. The flower spike, when it eventually appears, can reach 6 to 8 metres tall.
🛡️ Disease Resistant	Excellent.
🏜️ Drought Tolerant	Exceptional.
🔥 Heat Tolerant	Exceptional.
🪨 Poor Soil	Yes. Thrives in rocky, sandy, and gravelly soils with excellent drainage.
📝 Additional Notes	Frost tolerant once established, to approximately -5 degrees Celsius. Handle with care due to the sharp spine at the tip of each leaf. A true statement plant for warm, dry gardens.
