Agave lophantha ‘Splendida’ — Variegated Agave

Description

Agave lophantha ‘Splendida’ is a compact succulent with a bold rosette shape. Its stiff green leaves have cream to yellow edges and sharp tips.

This agave works well in pots, rock gardens, and dry landscape beds. It likes sun, heat, and fast drainage.

Light

Give it full sun or very bright light. More sun helps keep the plant tight and colorful. For another compact agave, see Agave ‘Porcupine’.

Water and Soil

Use soil that drains fast. Let the mix dry well before you water again. Wet soil can lead to root rot. Our Cactus Mix is made for plants that need quick drainage.

Growth and Care

Wear gloves when you work near the sharp leaf tips. Remove dead leaves as needed. Small offsets can form around the base and may be divided later.

Dry Garden Pairing

Feed lightly during active growth. Avoid heavy feeding. For another bold drought-tolerant rosette, see Mangave ‘Praying Hands’.
