Agave marmorata - Marbled Agave [plug]

Highlights

Agave marmorata (Roezl): A spectacular giant Agave with distinctive, banded leaves. Its Latin name describes the marbled appearance of its silvery blue leaves. This sun-loving beauty has a frosted look and sharp, toothy leaves. In the wild it can reach 4.0' tall and 6.5' wide at maturity. It also makes an outstanding landscaping feature in warm climates. It is a slow grower but has a long lifespan before blooming. This plant ships as a 1.5" plug without a pot.

Agave need plenty of full, outdoor sunlight and great drainage to thrive. They do well in gritty, mineral soils and pots with drainage holes. Over time you'll see new offsets or "pups" sprout up around the base of the mother plant.

Agave grow slowly in the spring and summer and can tolerate high heat and extended drought. This variety is only somewhat frost hardy and needs protection from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
