Not seen too many of these as single plants... this form seems to sucker aggressively. Also seem to look nicer under a bit of shade cloth instead of in full, hot, blazing sun. Variegation is yellow striping along the leaves and not readily noticable unless you look more closely.

I have not grown this plant. It is a very ornamental agave whose dark green leaves are edged with white (cream). Be sure to give it good drainage and keep over 43°F (6°C). It rarely has suckers. It hybridizes with Agave lechuguilla and Agave asperrima.
