Kaleidoscope Agave

Agave lophantha ‘Quadricolor’

This beautiful, hard-to-find Agave will stand out in any garden setting.  Kaleidoscope Agave grows 12-18″ tall by 2′ wide. Its dark green leaves are edged with yellow and have a pale green midstripe.  The yellow marginal stripes are highlighted by teeth that flush red when grown in bright light, giving the leaf four distinct colors. Plant in full sun to bright filtered shade and shelter from our full summer sun. Excellent as a potted accent or in any Xeriscape garden. Tolerates dry conditions but will grow faster with summer irrigation. Cold hardy to  15 degrees.
